As an aside, when I was a burgeoning piss-artist, and before the days of pubs opening early, I'd sometimes frequent that 'La Rochelle' cafe, next door to Maxims - it was the only place I knew of (then) that you could get a pint at 10am (and a fry-up).

 

Owned by Ronnie Lambton, landlord of Maxim's and named after his daughter Rachel (36D IIRC).

Cafe was in his daughter's name for tax reasons too.

 Aye, he was well regarded in the town, to the extent he was accompanied by two of his bouncers (meaning doormen, not Rachel's t*ts) whenever he went around town...

 

There we're also unsubstantiated rumours the cafe was stocked unofficially, Arfur Daley stylee, by Vaux, conjecture I might add ;) Still, you could get a pint and a fry-up at 10am so who was that bothered?  :)

Well-regarded or needing protection, due to him being a 5 foot 2 arrogant prick?

 

Plus all the bar stock came in a plain unmarked van.
