Although the dollar has fallen to half its usual
value, we are continuing our scheme to provide really excellent meals at really low prices. You may say that the price is too low. You may be unaware of the attractive surroundings at the Cecil-in fact, you may be entirely ignorant of the
cleanliness of our kitchens or the oxcellence of our chefs......but......you are probably feeling the pinch of the increased cost of living. All we ask is that you try the experiment ONCE of taking either tifin or dinner at the CECIL. Why not? Every day we are gaining new customers, but we want you as well!
