The Gamble Room in the Victoria and Albert Museum was designed as a place to partake of refreshment, and to this day one can still enjoy a nice cup of tea (or a passable coffee) from within.
The inscription on the frieze is a quote from Ecclesiastes II, 24 and reads 'There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy the good of his labour.'
Indeed.
