Remember the Co-op, but mainly the function room. My Auntie used to work there (well, not really related, but that's what you called your parent's friends in those days) doing the Catering.
My mum helped her on many occasions and she used to come home with some left over goodies. Think I helped myself once or twice. My memory was of mainly funeral parties, as wasn't as widespread to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries with a slap up meal then. Suppose sort of package deal, they insured you for a decent farewell, buried you and provided the function afterwards.
