Peaceful enjoyment

sir – My wife and I went to the Leaping Hare at Wyken for dinner on Saturday. The food was excellent. However, the outstanding point for us was that no one came to our table to ask if we were enjoying whatever it was we were eating.

They merely said when they brought the bill that they hoped we had enjoyed our meal. It is such a refreshing change, and when we commented on it we were told that it was the policy that there should be no check-backs.

We wish that more restaurants would adopt this policy so that meals could proceed uninterrupted by formulaic and hollow-sounding inquiries.
