Visiting British Pubs |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are visiting Britain for the first time and are
using some of the thousands of British pubs there are a few points which might help.
The pubs throughout the UK vary tremendously in style, content and ambience. If
you look around you will soon find one to suit you.
You will often find that in a pub, as opposed to a restaurant, there is unlikely
to be waitress service. Drinks are normally bought at the bar and to avoid a crush
it is customary for only one or two people from a group to go up to the bar to buy
the drinks.
If you do order as a group the bar staff will give the total cost and expect a single
payment. Unlike foreign bars, it is not normal in British pubs to run up a bill
or 'Tab'. You pay for drinks in cash when you receive them.
Pubs will normally not be allowed to open before 11.00am (12.00 on Sundays) and
last orders for drinks must be made before 11.00pm in England and Wales (10.30 on
Sundays). Scotland has more liberal licensing laws and you are likely to find more
pubs open until midnight. No-one under age 18 can buy or consume alcohol.
Most pubs will have a wide range of drinks, in particular a variety of beers ranging
from imported ones, often bottled, to the beers on draught (on tap). It is worth
trying a range of ales, stouts, bitter and lager (in Scotland try 'Heavy' or 'Seventy
Shilling') but remember that beer is sold in pints (more than half a litre) or half
pints. If trying a beer for the first time it is probably better to start with a
half pint, as some of the local brews can be fairly potent.
The main 'Rule' however about British pubs is to relax, enjoy yourself and remember
that the pubs can be a good place to meet local people and to find out about the
area you are visiting.

Pub Signs |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many pubs throughout Britain
have interesting and highly decorative pub signs. The tradition of using signs outside
pubs became popular in the 12th century when most of the pub customers were illiterate
and therefore a recognisable sign was the easiest way of attracting business.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1393 King Richard II made it compulsory for all alehouses to display a sign and they became a useful form of advertising.Some of the signs have proved to be highly prized works of art and there is currently a thriving trade in originals and reproductions of pub signs. More information and a selection of signs can be found on the
BLRA website.
|
|
|
|
|
Signs often include animals
such as horses, dogs, cats e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In general, as signs are fairly expensive to produce, they depict items which will be valid in future years such as The Rose or The Swan-but if personalities are chosen some may remain more familiar than others. Most people will know the person on the ' Marilyn Monroe' sign but younger visitors might struggle to recognise the 'Cheeky Chappie'. |
 |
|
|
and sometimes as in the 'White Horse' at Chilgrove the animals appear to get slightly mixed. |
