Georgians of all classes dined out in pubs, coaching inns, French ordinaries and
confectioners. They also ate all kinds of street food and had an almost insatiable
appetite for buns. On a journey through London, we will discover the early morning
drinks consumed on the street before dawn, ‘nunchions’ served at coaching inns,
Billingsgate dinners, confectioners’ cakes, syllabubs and ices, the proverbially thin ham
dished up to diners at Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, as well as the Jewish takeaway
foods of the East End and even London’s first ‘Indian’ restaurant.
