The menu is shakily printed in a faded blue on a 10 x 16.5 cm piece of cream card, with rounded edges. At foot: Holborn Restaurant 7th February 1942 . The menu is headed: THE DICKENS FELLOWSHIP / 130th Anniversary of the / Birthday of Charles Dickens / Chairman: WALTER DEXTER, Vice-President / Speakers: HUMPHREY HOUSE, JAMES AGATE . The description of the fare follows in silk-purse style: Hors-d uvre / - / Potage Garbure / Poisson poché Boistelle / Choux de Bruxelles / Pommes Vapeur / - / Bombe glacée Fraisette / Gaufrettes / - / Café .
