Love these old adverts. One of the nicest things about them is that there's not an aberrant apostrophe to be seen. (Ignore me; it's just one of my bêtes noires).

Thanks, jimbob; can't promise there'll be much left when I return it. (I can't help it if I'm an alumnus of Birkenhead School).

Only just saw this post today and I wondered the same thing.
According to dictionary.com:

14. British (in a restaurant or inn), a complete meal in which all courses are included at one fixed price, as opposed to à la carte service.
15. a restaurant, public house, or dining room serving all guests and customers the same standard meal or fare.
