Footage, courtesy of Grinberg, Paramount, Pathe Newsreels from the Sherman Grinberg Library collection via Getty, offers a small glimpse into what the wartime Byrom Restaurant was like. In the footage, which has no accompanying sound, cooks prepare meals in the government-run communal restaurant in Liverpool during World War II.

"The restaurant rooms are treated in yellow and pale green, with study tables with brick-red tops. The customers takes his ticket as he enters and then in the well-known cafeteria technique he pushes his tray along the counter, loading up - if it happens to be lunchtime - with soup , meat and two vegetables , pudding and pepper and salt

"We don't know what we are running into this winter and it is up to the public authorities to play their part and see that the people get their food."You have done here what is characteristic of Liverpool. This centre is a beautiful beginning and it is extraordinary well done and equipped." "Look at those kids," he added, a moment later, indicating four urchins avidly scraping their places for the last morsel. "I’ll bet they never even tasted pudding before." On that visit, the reporter was told up to 500 lunches were served there in a day, despite only seating 170.
