Fuck Britain was cool back in the 60s. Lost two icons from that period this week 🙁

Indeed he was.
A hugely important figure in modern British restaurants
Pont de la Tour, Blueprint Cafe and Butlers Wharf Chophouse
Bibendum, Orrery, Boundary and yes, Quaglinos
The buzz of happy diners and the view through the room as you came down that staircase in Quaglinos was brilliant!

Part of my food “journey” was eating there late evening, like you say the staircase was like a film set. I can remember it now.
