Chips and Crisps
For the benefit of any Americans reading this, in the UK, the British word chips means what you see in the picture above. What the Americans call chips or potato chips are known in the UK as crisps. The thin (potato) chips with a square cross section, about half the width of the ones in the picture, or cut even finer, can also be called French fries.
The club is conveniently between Charing Cross train station and Embankment station. You can visit it if you are a member of the Civil Service, a former member, or a member of an overseas club which has reciprocal arrangements.
The restaurant sections and private rooms are rented out to other clubs, such as wine tasting clubs, holding wine and dine dinners, reunions and Christmas parties and other events.
If you order fish and chips in the Civil Service Sclub restaurant, you are likely to get proper size proper British chips like this. If in doubt ask the person taking orders and serving. If you are still confused, show pictures.
Cheese Platters
The cheese plates we ordered were served on large platters, big enough for sharing. If you, or your guests, are concerned about Covid or general hygiene, ask for extra plates and for the food to be divided, and/or supplied with serving cutlery. Also ask the guests not to touch food in communal plates with hands, but to use cutlery.
