This 1973 menu, in deep colors of mauve and gold, is written in French and reflects the culinary fashion of the time. The menu changed to British \"comfort food\" in 1981 when it was bought by British restaurateurs Chris Corbin and Jeremy King, who also took over The Ivy. Many celebrities have dined in Le Caprice's art deco dining room but the most famous was the late Princess Diana, who patronized the place in the eighties. \"She was the most charming lady, so charismatic,\" maitre d' Jesus Adorno told The London Evening Standard . \"If you addressed her, you always got a smile. She would always have the same corner table.\" On the evening after she died her table was kept empty, with a single candle burning as a tribute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCourtesy Private Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEach print is accompanied by a copy of the interior menu where available.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe make our prints with archival-quality fine art paper, using professional pigment inks.

The owner, Daniel Nichols, was fleeing bankruptcy in France and had arrived in London two years earlier with his wife Célestine and her savings of just £5. Daniel suffered from diabetes and died in 1897. By the turn of the century this restaurant was the most famous in London. Célestine Nicols took over the management of the Café Royal after Daniel's death and ran it until her own death in 1916. This is one of the beautifully illustrated menus from that golden era. Embossed in gold, and with a rather smart poodle offering a basket of flowers as a gift, the menu is written in French which was the style at that time. Over the 143 years that the restaurant was open at 68 Regent Street in London's West End, its fans included Oscar Wilde, who one evening became so drunk on absinthe, he started to hallucinate. He wrote that he saw a waiter watering a field of tulips when in fact the waiter was stacking chairs in the bar. Aleister Crowley, Virginia Woolf, Winston Churchill, Noel Coward, future monarchs Edward VIII and George VI, George Bernard Shaw, Brigitte Bardot, Mick Jagger, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Muhammad Ali, Margaret Thatcher and Diana, Princess of Wales all enjoyed the pleasures of the restaurant. In 1996, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay had his wedding there. The Café Royal closed its doors as a restaurant for the last time in December 2008.

This phantom was said to grab female members of staff so hard it left red blemishes on the skin. The stories were taken sufficiently seriously to be mentioned on a list of local hauntings. However, The Lobster Pot was famous for its food with a menu that was peculiar to English seaside towns.

The First World War was over, and peace and a measure of prosperity had returned. Lyons’ tea houses, with its finger sandwiches, scones and pastries were a fixture of British society –there was at least one in every major town.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, encouraged by an organization called The New Health Society, the restaurant chain opened the Vita Sun Café.

The two ships were a British response to the express superliners built by German, Italian and French companies in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Following this collision the ship had emergency repairs at Vigo, Spain. However once the Doric returned to England her damage was determined to be a constructive total loss and she was subsequently scrapped in November 1935 at Cashmores shipbreaker's yard in Newport, Monmouthshire.

The dinners were à la Française. Many dishes were placed on the table at once, spread over two courses, plus dessert. Master cooks, at the top of the kitchen hierarchy, cooked the most complicated and prestigious dishes (éntrées in the first course and entremêts in the second), and the yeomen or junior servants cooked the simpler ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis document would have been used to record which chefs were cooking for each group.
