Eustace Miles (1868-1948)- English tennis player and exponent of fad diets and vegetarianism, wrote many publications on health, diet and exercise. He opened health food shops in London and two restaurants Carshelton and the one at Chelsea, which Miles mentions attending.
"The restaurant did very well during the First World War – when meatless cookery was more or less a necessity – staying in business for over 30 years" - https://womanandhersphere.com/2012/09/07/suffrage-stories-suffragettes-and-tea-rooms-the-eustace-miles-restaurant-and-the-tea-cup-inn/
