Joe Lyons opens their Showboat Theatre restaurant at the Strand Corner House
Joe Lyons opens their Showboat Theatre restaurant at the Strand Corner House. 62-year-old Bill Lines, from Battersea, started at the Corner House just 30 years and three weeks ago, when it opened for the first time. In those days tea was a penny a cup, and so was toast. Nowadays Bill will serve champagne and oysters to the customers as they watch the hour-long show. The new restaurant cost £ 100, 000 to fit out as a luxurious nightspot where for 37/6 a head the customer can have a three course dinner, with a cabaret and dancing until 1am. 10th October 1965

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1965, we witness the grand opening of Joe Lyons' Showboat Theatre restaurant at the iconic Strand Corner House. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where entertainment and fine dining converged to create an unforgettable experience. At the forefront of this momentous occasion is Joe Lyons himself, a visionary entrepreneur who has brought his unique brand of hospitality to life. Alongside him stands Bill Lines, a dedicated employee who has been part of the Corner House family since its inception thirty years ago. As they embark on this new venture together, their shared passion for providing exceptional service shines through. The photograph transports us back in time when tea and toast were merely pennies but now gives way to champagne and oysters as patrons indulge in an hour-long show. The newly renovated restaurant exudes luxury with its opulent interiors that have cost £100,000 to perfect. For just 37/6 per person, guests can relish in a sumptuous three-course dinner while being entertained by cabaret performances until the early hours. This image encapsulates not only an extraordinary moment in history but also represents an era defined by glamour and sophistication. It serves as a testament to Joe Lyons' unwavering commitment to creating memorable experiences for his customers at every turn.
