| Summary | "Dinners and Diners: Where and How to Dine in London" by Lieut.-Col. Newnham-Davis is a dining guidebook written in the late 19th century. This work provides insights and recommendations for various restaurants in London, focusing on the dining experience and the culinary art. It is likely to appeal to readers interested in gastronomy, social dining culture, and the culinary history of London during that era." "The opening of the book sets the stage for its exploration of dining in London, beginning with a preface that details the author's recognition of the diverse tastes of the public and the challenges of choosing dining establishments to review. The introductory section highlights Newnham-Davis's gratitude towards restaurateurs and chefs who contributed to his insights, emphasizing a blend of anecdotal and critical perspectives. He aims to provide practical guidance for potential diners, catering to both luxury seekers and those with simpler dining expectations. In particular, the first chapter introduces readers to the Princes' Hall, detailing an elegant birthday dinner for a character affectionately referred to as Mrs. Daffodil, showcasing the careful planning and considerations involved in arranging a memorable dining experience."
