I remember the late 60's and early 70's as a time when it was almost impossible to get a drink after 11pm in Europe's largest city, unless you were a guest in a hotel or member of a club. One way that some pubs in the West End got around this, was with a "Supper Licence", which allowed the pubs to serve booze until midnight with a meal. There being no definition of what constituted "a meal", most of the purchases were a Cheese Sandwich costing about 25p and often divided by 4 people. In those days, you could buy a pint of beer for about 30-40p.

Eventually, the Police got upset about this and brought a test case as to what a meal consisted of and the courts defined it as being "substantial" and normally eaten with cutlery. When this was introduced, the game was up. Nobody wanted to spend £1+ on a meal they were not going to eat in order to have another two or three beers. Effectively, this meant that the cost of the "drink" was doubled.

Does a 'Spit Roast' count as a meal?
