Names of foods served and the layout of the dishes on the table for nearly every day of the year are listed. One page lists a lavish venison party of at least 41 items dated 1703. It is noted at the bottom of page, "This table is call'd an Anibegne by reason of hot and cold, first, second, and third courses are intermixt w'ch is most noblest way of eating in all public entertainment." It lists a menu served on the day King George I came to the Crown, August 21, 1722 and then corrected to October 20, 1721. There are also details of the servants' meals, in striking contrast to the sumptuous fare at their masters' tables. The inside end page states that this book is one of several parchment books. People mentioned include Duke of Chandos, Lady Halifax, Lady Jennins, Lord Berkshire, Lord Ranelagh, and the Bishops of Bangor
