U.K. Menus, 2014
Scope and Contents
Notes from the collector: Friends of ours recently went touring in the U. K. and they asked what they could bring back. I said menus of course, and told them where they would end up. They brought several from quaint pubs and inns. …hamburger in every shape and form seems to take over the market over there. And most places seem to be very concerned the customer doesn’t sue for any breach of nutrition. Our friends had Chinese takeaway one night and were asked if they wanted chips and gravy (commercial) with the food. All very exciting.Menus include: Emirates Airlines, Best Pizza and Kebab House, The Boat Inn, The Buccleuch Hotel and Restaurant, The Famous Star Hotel, Dumfriesshire, The Fox and Pheasant Inn, Cumbria, Marston’s Inns and Taverns, Nith Hotel, Dumfries, Old Success Inn, The Roebuck Pub and Dining Room, The Sycamore Tree, Longtown, Trees Café, Wheeler’s of St. James, Dunfries, Scotland.
