We decided to provide a free pencil to every customer who was willing to try the Mock Turtle soup, to note on their accompanying serviettes, their impression of genuine retro style cooking, sipped happily in Victorian times, when refrigeration still awaited invention, & meat wastage was deplored. The pencil, you may have noted, has a cover to make the idea more palatable.

Yes, ma'am, the Soup of the Day, which you asked for, was indeed Cauliflower & Broccoli soup, garnished with a pretty, fresh, nasturtium flower for colour & effect. Did you know that nasturtium flowers are actually edible?
