LONDON'S OUT-OF-DOOR RESTAURANTS [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sin,--Can
nothing be done with regard to the meals provided in our parks, the only places where Londoners can eat out of doors ? I had luncheon recently with two friends at one of these restaurants and can truthfully say, never have I had a meal so badly served, or our very simple orders so inefficiently carried out. We were attended by three waiters, but were finally reduced to going to the counter ourselves to fetch what we wanted.
No other nation would tolerate such incompetence. Why should it be impossible to provide long-suffering Londoners with well-served, well-cooked meals in our public parks ? Why should we have to put up with such bad management and lack of organization ?—I am, Sir, &c.,
INDIGNANT.
[From personal experience we can confirm our corres- pondent's complaint. The catering in our parks leaves much to be desired and would not be tolerated in any large city on the Continent. Why is it that no one seems able to provide Londoners with nicely served meals out-of-doors ? Here is work for the Brighter London Society to take up.—En. Spectator.]
