While many are long gone, some are sure to hold fond memories for those who dined there. They might have been the venue for a first date which led to a long and happy marriage, or for a special celebration like a birthday or an anniversary.
The restaurants featured in this retro photo gallery include Vat One, Yankees, the Fairway Inn, Vulcan, the Golden Egg and many more. Do you remember eating at any of them, which of them do you miss most and do you have a favourite dish you would give anything to taste again?
