I want my dinner on a plate.

Oh dear! If you want your dinner on a plate why don't you just stay at home and make it yourself <sigh>

Roses, I mean on here in general, not you in particular.

Roses, you made me laugh out loud? Doesn't often happen on here
Greyduster nicked the whippet quip from me☹️

I remember Chicken in a Basket, Anya, and loved it.

felice I always wonder if slate or wooden platters are clean. As for floor tiles I too would eat elsewhere.
I also hate my "small glass of wine" being served in massive wine glasses that cover half my face. ?

I think they are awful, and not easy for the waiters either, especially the wooden boards and slates.
I also wonder how they clean them properly.
SO and I were going for lunch one day when we saw the serving 'plates', floor tiles¨ !!!!!!!! we went elsewhere.

Whippet and chips in a flat cap, maybe, roses! (Apologies to any whippet owners!!). I don't mind my chips being served in little wire frying baskets - it's quite fun - but I do object to food on slabs of slate, or deep soup plates, which are okay for pasta but totally alien for anything else.

I had a G&T served in a half pint glass with handle! It just didn't taste the same! ?

Riverwalk, it's a very good tapas place called Rioja in Glasgow.

...and scampi in a basket, very sophisticated!
I would draw the line at fish and chips in a flat cap.

I'm wondering how slate and wooden platters are cleaned. Do they go in the dishwasher? I wouldn't think they'd last long with that treatment.

It's nothing new though. Who remembers 'Chicken in a Basket' from the 60s or 70s?

I have the occasional snack in my local Waitrose and nearly all food is served in a deep soup plate which I hate. I much prefer food served a normal dinner plate but no joy, they will not change it.

On Come Dine With Me recently I saw one contestant pouring soup from a teapot into little teacups.

Wow haven't seen any of this We re still on plates around here perhaps we re not so sophisticated

No, it isn't !
I'm with you on this. We took GS to pizza hut at the weekend (bad nannie) the youngest wanted nuggets and chips from the children's menu the chips were served in a miniture metal bucket

I don't mind chips in a wire basket or slates and wood but would draw the line at sausage & mash in a wine glass

Name and shame Daddima!

I agree! Wholeheartedly. Sausage and mash in a wine glass? How silly. I now ask for a plate if I notice other diners eating off ornaments or if it's too late, send the meal back and ask for them to re-serve it on a plate or, when recently my drink was served in a jam jar with a handle, a proper glass. I'm revolting! (and embarrassing my DH again!)
