    The Britannia, along with The Crypt, was the place to be in the '60s and '70s. Very smart. I think it had one of the town's first cocktail bars back in the day, along with The Salutation in Biggin Street.

    I remember as a kid having a meal in the Britannia's upstairs restaurant with my family in the very early '70s; white starched tablecloths and high culinary and service standards, and a very nice liveried maitre d' called Pepe.

    I remember eating Italian food for the first time there - cannelloni, since you're asking - and it was all impossibly exotic and pretty swish, with very high standards.

    The Crypt was of the same calibre round the corner, and likewise the much-missed Ristorante Al Porto a few doors along Townwall Street.

    How much Dover's lost in a such a short space of time.

    The Brit, RIP: you were quite a catch in your day.
