Fair enough mate, I don't recall that one. My earliest memories of Ilford was going in the restaurant in Littlewoods, I remember being on the escalator going up and smelling it, bowl of chips swimming in vinegar, ha.

I grew up in the 70s but I've never heard of Golden Egg restaurants. They sound great. The decor, I mean. I collect decorative tat from the 50s/60s/early 70s.

Went to the Phoenix about 15 years ago and it was still stuck in the 80s. Looked like it'd seen a few decent nights.

Many people can remember Golden Egg restaurants from the 1970s as colourful, cheap and homogenous: the same layout whether you were in Dover or Dundee. However, Philip and Reggie Kaye began the Golden Egg restaurants in the early 1960s and each one was very different. Some had an Italian theme, others Spanish and some pure Hollywood. They were a mixture of coffee bar and moderately priced restaurant: they had separate areas for drinking coffee and eating. Whilst the later Golden Eggs were rather soulless chain restaurants the earliest ones used handmade ceramics and modern materials such as coloured plastics and fibre-glass. Although handmade ceramics in a cheap restaurant chain may seem incongruous, one element of their design is entirely in keeping with Newland's style: colour. In his 1965 book, Mood and Atmosphere in Restaurants, Maclolm Newell writes:
The most controversial use of colour in British restaurants has come from the Golden Egg chain where riotous colour schemes and brilliant opaline lights have brought a jazzy mood to eating in low-price popular restaurants. Philip Kaye and his family, proprietors of the chain, had no knowledge of colour scheming. They just wanted to break away from the tradition of conservatism. And the success of the chain shows there is public appreciation of this dramatic approach. 2
Having built up a reputation for making brightly coloured sculptural ceramics, Newland and Hine were in the right place at the right time to decorate the interiors of the Golden Eggs. Not being part of the ceramic establishment and eager to make a living, they were happy to make objects to fit a designer's scheme, however outlandish. Philip Kaye said that a sculpture of Newland's for the Edgware Road 'Golden Egg' was a
ghastly eight foot high head but that people stopped to look, they were horrified and they were mystified, but it intrigued them and they went in. 3

The Golden Egg Ilford was in the row of shops opposite the Nat West Bank on Ilford Hill, and it was many many moons ago.
