More about Woolworths

The Bullring Woolworth's cafeteria in 1936 could cater for 1,000 people. They provided Saturday night suppers too. Wonder what the food was like? Viv.

I never dined at Woolworth so I do not know how long this sized restaurant lasted. I would guess that the advent of WW2 made changes to it.

I would say that the food was good, wholesome and healthy and as the advert says "reasonably" priced. Those who ever visited a British Restaurant will have some idea I think.
 
Hi Viv,
I can't vouch for the "Saturday Night Suppers" but I remember going to the Cafeteria on quite a few occasions with my mother, and enjoying meat pie and chips ! that was in the 1930's

Hi Reg and Radiorails. Funny but Woolworth's wouldn't have been a place that springs to mind when choosing a place to get a Saturday evening supper! Good old Woolies. Viv.
 
Certainly not for a Saturday evening supper but I have been told that shop cafeterias and restaurants are very popular places for lunch for people who are on the road a lot. Tescos at Five Ways have gone over to a coffee bar but previously I often called in for a late breakfast.
