Why not public diners?

What are public diners? Public diners are state supported, affordable restaurants serving good meals to the general public. They operated under the banner of 'Civic Restaurants' in the 1940s and 50s. They also exist in different forms across the world today. Read more about public diners here.

We have put together an exhibition that showcases the history and future of public diners.

We would like to invite you to the public diner conversation by joining us for the opening night of the exhibition in Glasgow. This event will include a mini lecture on the history of public diners by historian Prof Bryce Evans. We will also hear from a panel of speakers about the different international examples of public diners today.
