Product Description

Product Description
Who better to ensure the nation's table manners come up to scratch than an English butler of 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. It covers all aspects of eating etiquette from napkin folding, cutlery, glasses, bread rolls (never use a knife!), silver service to how to eat soup, spaghetti, escargot 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 you and your family never let the side down whatever the company you keep while dining.

About the Author
Ex-Public school boy Nicholas Clayton has been a butler for 11 years. His work has taken him all over the world as he has been butler to the rich and famous and even royalty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant Manners , 3 May 2007
By T. Nutley "The Raven" (Hertfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gives you the basics, 3 Mar 2009
By Emza (London) - See all my reviews
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.
