Read the text about serving rules and check your
answers.
When serving a customer, you should place and
remove all food from the left and hold the plate in your left hand. If
you are carrying two plates, first place the one in your left hand on the
table, then move the other plate to your left hand and place it in front
of the next person you serve.
Contrarily you should place and remove
beverages from the customer's right side. You should also refill glasses
or cups from the right, leaving them in position on the table and not picking
them up. If you cannot reach them conveniently, move them to a more
suitable position on the table to refill them. You should always carry
plates to the table in such away that you do not touch the surface from
which food is going to be eaten. Likewise you should avoid touching the
rims of glasses, by holding them from the stem and, when placing
silverware, you should only touch the handles.
It is important never to reach in front of a
guest when serving food or removing dishes from the table and always
present serving dishes from the left hand side, placing them in a position
that means all guests can easily serve themselves. Serve butter, cheese
and cut lemon with a fork; relishes, pickles and olives with a fork or
spoon, not with your fingers! Only clear the table when all the guests
have finished eating and remove all dishes and cutlery used in that course,
starting with the serving dishes and silverware and then removing all the
dishes from each person's cover. In clearing the table use your left hand
to remove the plate, move it to your right hand, leaving your left hand
free to remove the next plate.
