Turn the Table

Music from the turntable and customers can choose a vinyl record to play - youngsters won't have seen anything like it!  Outside restaurant in Spitalfields.

Miss-Match

Miss-matched china is so in fashion that Churchill China have launched a retro range which has the pluses of being vitrified and not needing to be acquired in junk shops.  Spotted by my colleague Charles.

Bottles are Back

Guest Spot

Small retro milk bottle caught colleague Charles' eye at the Great North Hotel's bar off Kings Cross station. The somewhat conventional cup, saucer and teapot was noted.

Retro Kit

 

Utility is a fabulous shop in Brighton with everything from second-hand bakelite handle knives to those lovely enamel dishes our mums used.  Their on-line shop is at http://www.utilitygreatbritain.co.uk/shop

Retro Table Setting

Let's start with the tables (at Bishopsgate Kitchen) - made of off cuts and deliberately not finished.


Glass mugs, not fancy glasses.

Kitchen cloths; not serviettes








Bone handled knives - the ones we all threw away as they looked old and couldn't cope with the dishwasher
