Product Description
Who better to ensure the nation's table manners come up to scratch than an English butler with over 10 years' experience? With the revival in good manners, etiquette, spelling and grammar, this is a timely book on table manners and dining etiquette to ensure grace at the table at all times. Covers all aspects of eating etiquette from napkin folding, cutlery, glasses, bread rolls (never use a knife!) and silver service to how to eat soup, spaghetti, escargots and artichokes and open a bottle of champagne. With diagrams for those tricky table placements and eating actions and a range of tips and hints, the book is the last word on how to eat. It will ensure that you and your family never let the side down whatever the company you keep while dining.

This book is excellant. It has some no-brainer manners but others that i would consider doing at the table. Each section the author has added a helpful tip section. It features some tales from experience that are rather amuseing. This book is ideal for parents teaching their children, a black tie dinner party situation or just for reading into the world of better manners.

Disappointed with this book. It took around 20 minutes to read, and although was very well structured and easy to understand, it was rather basic. I did pick up a couple of pointers but overall could only recommend this book to somebody with very limited knowledge of how to behave around a table.

I was not overly impressed with this book. It had vague general info, but not as much detail as most yacht stews would like.
