Christopher Catling cooked meat pies, named 'kit-cats' after him, which became the favourite meal of a group of influential people who gathered in London eateries.
This gathering became known as the Kit-Cat Club, which had strong ties to political and literary spheres in London.
Nestle found the association to the chocolate bar through early branded boxes which feature both Christopher Catling, his shop and the club.
When Rowntree?s decided to make the individual bars, they transferred the KitKat name, without the associated imagery.
