Top Tips On Visiting Pubs in the U.K.
Do you tip the bartender? How do you order a drink? I'm going to tell you some of the important things to know before you visit a pub in England. A stop-off (or several!) in a classic pub is a must-do for most visitors in the country.
- Drinks can be expensive so budget accordingly. London is expensive for drinking, and you’ll find that a pint is cheaper outside the capital. Wealthier areas of the city, such as Knightsbridge, Chelsea and Fulham, are likely to be more expensive too. Try and seek out places a little off-the-beaten-track for better prices: the pub guides on the Londonist website are a great place to start.
- Order at the bar at most pubs you'll go up to the bartender order a drink pay for it there and then take it to wherever you are sitting.
- The same goes for if you're also going to be having food. You just go to the bar, tell the bartender what you want to put the order in and you pay the bartender there. The only difference is if the pub has a special restaurant section then you'll have regular table service like you would at a typical restaurant. When in doubt if you're not sure how the pub works just find a staff member and ask what the deal is.
- Ordering beer. It's customary to go up to the bartender and say I'd like a pint of whatever drink is on tap that you want. You can also ask for a half-pint if you don't want a big drink and you just want a little bit.
