British Restaurant, WWII - at the counter
Scene inside a British Restaurant, one of a number of communal restaurants during the Second World War providing a cooked meal, with dessert and a cup of tea, for around the cost of 1s.2d. While operated on a canteen basis, meals were eaten at a table and allowed people, including war workers and those who had bombed out of their homes or might have difficulty cooking or making a packed lunch at home, a nutritious and affordable meal, which could be eaten in addition to wartime rations.
