Summary

James Pembroke believes our attitudes to eating in public reveal more about the development and nature of our society than how and what we consume in the privacy of our homes. By combining a personal memoir of an eccentric upbringing, with a history of eating out which stretches from the Romans to the present day, James examines how the culture of the restaurant mirrors our history and our economic ups and downs.
