Waiter:

Good evening, sir. Good evening madam.  Shall I take your coats?

Mr Adams:

Thank you.  Where shall we sit, Barbara?

Waiter:

Oh, would you like to sit over here, sir?  Near the window.

Mr Adams:

Oh, yes …..Could we see the menu?

Waiter:

Certainly. Here it is.

The waiter leaves them

Mr Adams:

Do you fancy a starter?

Mrs Adams:

Well….  I think I’ll have the prawn cocktail.  I’m very fond of prawns.  What about  you?

Mr Adams:

I’m not sure………….. I can’t decide

Mrs Adams:

Oh, I’d have the trout, if I were you.  You like trout, and you haven’t had it for a long time.

The waiter comes back

Waiter:

Are you ready to order, sir?

Mr Adams:

Yes…..a prawn cocktail for my wife, and the trout for me.

Waiter:

And for the main course, sir?

Mr Adams:

Veal for my wife.  I can’t decide between the veal and the chicken.  What do you recommend?

Waiter:

Oh, if I were you, I’d have the veal.  It’s the speciality of the house.  What would you like with it?

Mr Adams:

Two mixed salads, please.

Waiter:

…any vegetables, sir?

Mr Adams:

Yes.  Some cauliflower, courgettes and boiled potatoes, please.

Waiter:

Anything to follow?

Mr Adams:

Perhaps a dessert.  Can we order that later?

Waiter:

Of course, sir.

Waiter:

Would you like to see the wine list?

Mr Adams:

Yes…… we’d like a bottle of dry white wine.

Waiter:

May I suggest something?

Mr Adams:

Of course.

Waiter:

Why don’t you try a bottle of English wine?

Mr Adams:

English wine?

Waiter:

Yes, it isn’t very well-known, but it’s being produced in the south of England now.  You’ll be surprised …….it’s very good.

Mr Adams:

OK, we’ll try that!

The waiter comes back with the wine and the starters

Waiter:

Have a nice meal.

Mr & Mrs Adams

Thank you.

At the end of the meal

Waiter:

Was everything to your liking, sir?

Mr Adams:

Yes, very nice, thank you.  Can I have the bill, please?

Waiter:

Certainly, sir.

The waiter brings the bill

Mr Adams:

Can I pay by credit card?

Waiter:

Certainly, sir, we accept Visa or American Express

Mr Adams:

Here you are.

Waiter:

Thank you very much, sir.  Goodbye.
