The No.10 Restaurant, 1976

A Somewhat Defensive Advert.., originally uploaded by glen.h.

"'I'll be lunching at No.10, Richards, - so just something light for supper.'

Some of the finest food in London! Our Number 10 restaurant is a haven of air-conditioned luxury dedicated to the presentation of the choicest foods and wines obtainable.

You can, of course, take your companion/lady to that amusingly tiny place in Soho where the lasagne is a poem - and doubtless you'll have an interesting, if cramped, evening. Yet, for roughly the same cost you can offer (her) perfection of food, wine and surroundings in one of London's best hotels."
