The usual interview for any of the places is "can you cook", right you're hired, not even that in the cafe, and the chippy never gets shown (could this be down to the set rebuild?).
Eating at the Vic

If any character wasn't suited to their name, it's babe
before Babe, they had mad Jean and her sausage surprise lol. Then Den and Angie always arguing, and screeching Peggy and drunk Phil after that. I wonder what delights we'll get next 
I love going to eat at pubs but eating at the Vic would definatly not be enjoyble. With the annoying landlord also being there...just another reason to not.
It reminds me of my local, the barmaids just seem to take it in turns to be 'chef' and the quality varies depending on whose cooking on what day.
I just stick to booze!

Some of Aunt Babe's food looks nice, however, I sicked up in my mouth when Mas pulled out some of Abi's hair from his mouth.

Plus they always seem to be traditional English dishes, like trifle, sausage and mash, fish and chips. The vic needs to get with the times and should jazz it up a bit.
The hygiene is atrocious too what with the hair in the food
Surprised anyone eats there at all.”

I don't think it's as much as that its traditional, but it's the way Babe seems to get very excited when she's talking about her dishes as if they are extremely exotic. She has to make a song and dance about it. The majority of her lines seem to involve food

This reminds me of that random storyline where Kat thought she had sold Shirley dog meat. What on earth was that about?

Throw in the karioke nights, that includes the Carters screeching out tunes, performances like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lan1r3Gtfqs and not to mention all the fights, bust ups, gangster attacks, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwZTOkFl9Tc and Babe sh*gging her toyboy in the kitchen aswell - you have the perfect recipe for health and safety nightmares

They can keep the cafe for the 'beans on toast' trade.”

You made me wonder what ever happened to Fargo's restaurant? That was always the upscale place to go before Scarlet's became a thing. The last time I remember it being used was a scene with Bianca. Did they ever say what happened it did it just fall in the East End's black hole of forgotten sets?

Did it disappear when we got the Argee Bargee. I can't remember.
There food is too traditional I agree. It's not even that that's the problem really, it's the fact she cooks the same meals again and again. Mick used to say though he only wants English grub, none of that fancy stuff. They're always turning up in the kitchen too without aprons or hair nets. Never see them wash their hands. Abi starts her shifts and goes straight to cooking rather then washing her hands. She's not even a qualified chef is she?? Food must taste bland and disgusting. She can still cook traditional food but posh it up abit. And instead of cooking boring trifle, if that's all she can cook, she can do like apple crumble with ice cream or chocolate brownie and sticky pudding. I'd be a better cook then her lol. I think Emmerdales pub looks nice to eat in, especially as Marlon is a proper chef who knows what he's doing.
