The menu is a ’la carte with all the dishes individually priced. This service employs two waiters working together to serve the meal and includes the head waiter who seats the customers and the wine steward who serve the wine.

Guerdon service is the most complete form of food service and required skilled waiters able to carry out procedures, such as filleting carving and flambéing.
ENGLISH SERVICE: All food is preferred in the kitchen and arranged either on hot or cold silver plates or dishes as appropriate. It is then taken into the dining room by the waiter who serves  food on to the customers plates which are already on the table.

All glassware should be stacked on a separate tray and taken to a separate wash-up point.
The wash-up services area should be the first section the waiter enters from the food service area.
