The opulence of the public rooms show clearly why Deller’s was the place to be. The photos, showing views of both 48/49 High Street as well as the main Café site in Bedford Street, demonstrate a catering business that had, for its time, much of the most modern equipment and the capability of serving meals on a large scale. Four hundred for a banquet was a challenge they often rose to.
