As one of Los Angeles’s remaining British pubs, it seems fitting that the family-owned the Cat & Fiddle will host high tea in honor of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen died yesterday, September 8, at the age of 96, and was officially the longest-reigning monarch of England.
High tea is a traditional British afternoon affair that utilizes a blend of teas originating from England’s colonized/brutalized regions including India, China, Africa, and Sri Lanka.
The Cat & Fiddle will offer a trio of classic sandwiches, scones, sweets, and tea or Champagne, and says high tea will be offered from “here on out.” Open since 1982, the Cat & Fiddle is one of Southern California’s longest-running pubs, offering classic dishes like fish and chips, bangers and mash, beef Wellington, and Sunday roast. Reservations are required for the tea, and a pre-order tea kit is also available for takeout.
Restaurants oppose new fast-food worker law
Last week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 257, a law that will establish a council to establish minimum wages while focusing on safety and working conditions at large-scale fast food businesses. But a coalition of restaurant and franchise groups called Protect Neighborhood Restaurants announced their opposition, indicating that customers will feel the impact with higher prices, writes California Globe. The restaurant group has still failed to address alleged abuse raised by employees.
