Everything about British Restaurant totally explained
British Restaurants were communal kitchens created during the
Second World War to ensure communities and people who had run out of
rationing coupons were still able to eat.
They were set up by the
Ministry of Food and run by local committees on a non-profit making basis. Meals were purchased for a set price of 5
shillings (equivalent to 25 pence) or less. No-one could be served with a meal of more than one serving of meat, game, poultry, fish, eggs, or cheese.
Originally called 'Community Feeding Centres', the name
British Restaurants was preferred by
Winston Churchill.
By mid-1941 over 200 of these restaurants existed in the
London County Council area, although the
Wartime Social Survey conducted in 1942-43 indicated they were more popular in London than in the rest of the country
Some smaller places didn't qualify for a British Restaurant but instead had what was termed a
Cash and Carry Restaurant with meals being delivered from a British Restaurant in the area
