Thank you for posting this I had never heard of them called that name. I suspect Cov had them there were lots of good cheap places to eat up to the 80's maybe 90's. My trendy friends used to go to Priestlys Bridge Restaurant in Coventry. I can't find it on a map now. Fashionable to eat with the poor folk? Lots of poorer people frequented it and elderly. When I was scraping to buy my place, I used to go to a little tin roofed wooden café with about 4 tables up some dark damp steps. It was in the rear of somebody's garden. They did lovely pork batches, They used to plate up dinners on a plastic tray with cling film popular with the elderly. It was in bedsit land. And transport cafés. Grandad used to take me in those as he was a driver. He said good conversation and food which wouldn't leave a hole in your pocket. I thought you got a real hole in some places!
My friend's mum ran a sailors' mission, hostel and café, they were always busy he said.
