    Went out for a meal on a Sunday a couple of years back & 3 of us ordered a roast beef dinner & they were served on wooden boards.

    The bizarre thing is they expected us to have gravy as they brought us all a decent sized pot of it each.

    It was ridiculous we were all sat trying to add only a little bit of gravy at a time with napkins placed round the edge of our boards to catch any gravy dripping off the sides.

    It wasn’t anywhere local.

    Totally with you on this. Whilst we're on it - Triple cooked chips?! What a load of nonsense. Cook them once, properly. Eat. Same with rice - just boil it. Don't put a plastic bag in to complicate the issue.

    Triple cooked chips are superb if done properly. Far superior to standard.

    The caption wins the day on this monstrosity

    Several years ago I was sitting in the Bluebell at Dodworth (now the Fairway). The bloke on the next table had ordered a giant Yorkshire pudding. It arrived on a shallow plate, and resembled a miniature hot tub, full to the brim with gravy. It wasn't difficult to work out what would happen when the bloke wielded his knife. However, his judgement had obviously been negatively influenced by his beverages, so he just cut it in half. Sadly, the plate was too shallow, and the table was perfectly level. You can imagine the rest...

    Jars were the norm to drink out of pre 60s lol.
    Best China, only came out when guests showed up.
