SERVICE A L'ANGLAISE: Principe identique au service à la Française mais, muni d'un couvert de service dans la main droite, le serveur (ou la serveuse) effectue lui-même le service
BUTLER: The most time consuming. When seated, warm plates are placed before the guests. The meal is presented to the guest. This service has limited use today. If you are the only one serving, the number of diners has to be kept small. Six is the largest that one person can serve and keep the food hot. Many people are not accustomed to serving themselves from a platter and the delay just lets the food get cold.
