Mr Piggin (?) was the manager, Mr Young was the head chef, Mr Peak was the baker. I don't recall a butcher. The other five apprentices and I rotated around the departments in the preparation kitchen to learn each, and in the second year did split shifts, working in the restaurant kitchen in the evening.

Had a prawn cocktail and a half-pound steak plus trimmings and Mateus Rose wine for under a pound, after discount. Decided to add a cake and the waiter added the cake to the discounted bill and gave us the 10% discount again, which came to the same amount. How much was the cake?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975550914106390150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981527888991373948.post-71348333697183824952012-12-31T00:10:51.125+00:002012-12-31T00:10:51.125+00:00I liked this bar, often took my girlfriend there a...I liked this bar, often took my girlfriend there and started off many a great night there before heading on down to the Nag's Head near Bootle Street cop shop, Tommy Ducks and the Peveril of the Peak.
