Yes ... Berni Inn! I didn't have any gateaux (or Babycham for that matter) but I remember the coffee with cream on top?

It was a Holland's steak and kidney pud and I've been addicted to them ever since. I can still remember the smell of the chips to this day.

Re: Eating Out ..... Earliest Memories
My earliest memories of eating out are of Lewis's tea room in their store in Leicester in the early 1950s. As children my sister and I were occasionally taken into Leicester on the double decker bus for clothes shopping (C&A as I recall) and then to Lewis's for afternoon tea - served at tables with white tablecloths by waitresses in black dresses, white aprons and white cap/bands on their heads. What luxury! Later the tea-room was turned into a self-service restaurant with formica topped tables - not so luxurious!

The Chinese restaurant was some way out of Settle on the road from Kendal. We only called there because, as usual, the traffic was clogged up. No by-pass to the Lakes in those days, just long gruelling twisty `B` roads.
