Carvery: Difference between revisions

Carverys existed as early as 1956 in London in two of [[J. Lyons and Co.|Lyons]] Corner Houses. One of the restaurants in each of the [[Strand, London|Strand]] and the [[Tottenham Court Road]] Lyons was a carvery. They provided a three course meal with beverage, but all but the carvery items were served by a [[Nippy]] (waitress). Even the carvery table had an employee to help those having difficulty in the actual carving. The price at this time was five shillings.

In the 1970s and later, many more carerys appeared in London. One well known carvery was situated in the [[Regent Palace Hotel]]. The restaurant there was on the ground floor and the [[Art Deco]] ceiling of which has been reassembled in the new Air W1 building.
