Themed eating

In Competition No. 2366 you were invited to describe the opening of a bizarrely themed restaurant in this country. Berlin features its restaurant for anorexics and one for the blind where customers eat in pitch darkness, served by blind waiters; also a café run by an Argentinian where you eat what you’re given, then pay what you think the meal is worth. At Andrew Wilcox’s non-PC restaurant (‘Berkshire’s first’) ‘the party next to us was asked to leave after refusing to light up between courses’; at Josephine Boyle’s The Acrostic Appetite ‘the menu is a crossword and you won’t know what’s on that evening until you’ve solved some clues’; while Basil Ransome-Davies’s Check-In horrifically offers ‘the full airport experience’. The prizewinners get £25 each, and the Cobra Premium beer goes to Frank Upton.
