Bella asked:
I have experience as a waitress but have never done silver service before. Is it too difficult? What are the main differences from the normal waitering job? Where can I learn silver service in London?

Silver service is very easy to pick up. You would probably be able to learn on the job, it should be part of the training.
Semi Silver service is when you have to serve things up at the table from a platter. Usually the chef will carve the meat (or whatever) in the kitchen, then you would take the plates to the table, you would then hold a spoon and a fork in one hand and serve up potatoes and vegetables. If you wanted to practice then hold the fork between your index finger and thumb and hold the spoon with your other three fingers so that you can scoop with the spoon and hold things on the spoon with the fork (If this makes sense…)
Silver service is exactly the same principle as semi silver but you have to serve everything at the table, including any meat/fish etc..
Normal plate waiting is when the whole meal is plated up in the kitchen and you deliver it to the table or, the meat/fish etc is put on the plate by the chef and you deliver potatoes and veg in a side dish.
Hope this helps!
