5British Pubs
Restaurants serving British food tend to
be very expensive and found in luxury hotels. You
can eat a good British meal without spending a
lot of money by going to a pub. They can now be
found in every town, city or village. The main
business in pubs is selling drinks, the most
popular of which is beer. But most now serve a
lot of hot and cold meals. They often have family
areas where people under 16 can sit and eat. Pubs
with gardens or chair and tables outside are
often crowded in summer.
6 Pubs are still a central part of British
culture. Social life for many people has centered
on the pub for many years. It is customary in
Britain to go for drink with friend. People
often meet at a pub before going to another
place. On Friday and Saturday evenings pubs can
be very crowded. Opening and closing times
are decided by low, and, ten minutes before
closing time, the barmaid rings a bell or should,
Last orders! When you go into a pub, you have
to go to the bar, pay for you drink and carry it
to your seat.
7 Pubs often provide entertainment live
music, singing, video and karaoke machines. The
English love games, and the English pub is the
main evidence for this. Darts is one of the
oldest pub games. It is a rare pub that does not
have a dart board in the corner and a set of
arrows available. Dominoes, skittles, cards and
bar billiards are also popular.
8 Pub names often echo historical links. Names
with heraldic connections are common, often the
symbols of former heroes. There are many other
themes for pub names, including field sports,
food and drink, show-business, transport or the
world of literature. One of the most popular pubs
is The Sherlock Holmes in Nortumberland Street,
Central London. It includes a museum and a
re-creation of the famous detectives sitting
room and study. Pub stands at the
heart of English community life and something
that people from all over the world come to
Britain to experience.
