Serving hatches

[witchofzog]

I was just watching an old episode of Some Mothers Do Av Em and the house had a serving hatch which reminded me of the house I grew up in which also had one. Yet we don't have them now.

Did anyone else have one and why did they go out of fashion? I kind of think they were a bit genius really and it's a shame they don't exist anymore really

We had one in the house I grew up in, it wasn't a big hatch, about 2ft square but was used all the time.

It was between the living room and kitchen and used for passing drinks through and talking to each other instead of having to walk around.
The budgie also used it as a short cut!

We had one. Bizarrely set 18 inches from the door to the kitchen. So quite pointless really. Filled it in.
