England - London - Restaurant service in Sofitel at Heathrow Airport

Using a cloth, a waiter picks up a hot bowl of Butter Squash soup ready for a la carte service in the kitchens at the Vivre restaurant in Sofitel, a 605 bedroom, 27 suite and 45 meeting room accommodation and business hub Heathrow Airport's hub hotel attached to Terminal 5. A stack of clean and unused plates are ready for use on the hot plate that warms them and we see the waiter leaning over in shadow, carefully taking hold of the bowl so that none of the liquid spills. The man is wearing a smart white shirt and is about to take the dish over to the customer's table. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). .
