Village Squire, 1977-09, Page 30SQUIRE'S TABLE 4 Way Inn stakes claim on the family market There's nothing pretentious about the 4 Way Inn on Exeter's main street, either on the inside or the outside. It could be a hundred other Ontario Restaurants when you look at it from the outside, a storefront restaurant with large windows and a big neon sign. Inside, it's attractive and clean but hardly unique. It's got the same arborite tables, the same tiled ceiling as any number of other middle-class Canadian restaurants. In short, it's not the place for the fussy gourmet. But as an example of the Canadian family -style restaurant, it holds up well. As we said earlier, it's neat and clean. It has both booths at the front and a more formal dining area at the rear and it is carpeted to keep down the sound. The decor is attractive with heavy -looking coats of arms on the walls and recessed archways that hold the lighting. The menu is typical of the Canadian family restaurant with a wide variety of dishes to choose from and a choice of three specials for the day. Perhaps a little more unusual for a family restaurant is the fact that the 4 Way Inn is licenced so there's a wine, beer and liquor listing in the menu. We chose two of the specials: pork tenderloin for the lady and roast turkey for the writer. The lady ordered a chef salad as well while the writer had the soup of the day, macaroni and tomato. The salad was large, large enough to make a light lunch all by itself. The soup was good enough that it was obvious the management thinks soup is too important to come from a can. A plentiful supply of buns in a basket came too. The main course came as heaping plates Operation Liffe tyle Lifestyle is having the ca- pacity to react against the cigarette habit, stimulants and tranquilizers, pot and alcohol.

It contained, beside the turkey, green beans, a small salad, mashed potatoes, and turkey dressing. But it was the helping of turkey. both light and dark meat, that dominated the plate. It was more than the writer could manage without permanent damage to the intestinal system. Needless to say, he passed up dessert. The lady found her pork tenderloin, Which was accompanied by the same trimmings, not quite so hard to handle, though the serving was ample. That the Inn is a family restaurant was well illustrated by the fact that nearly every table occupied on this Saturday evening had children at it, and they were about the best behaved congregation of children we've run across in a long while.
