Eating out
Eating out nowadays has become very popular all over the world. In most towns there is a wide variety of restaurants serving different types of food at different prices. Most European towns nowadays have Chinese or Indian restaurants which serve quite cheap food. Italian restaurants are also popular and French restaurants are famous for high quality expensive cooking.
When you have looked at the menu and chosen what you want to eat, the waiter will come and take your order. Normally, you tell him what you want for the first two courses. He will take your order for dessert and coffee later.
In some places you can dance to disco music between the courses of your meal.
While having your drink or meal you may enjoy the cabaret. This can be any kind of show: music, singing, dancing or people telling jokes.
When you finish eating, ask the waiter to bring you the bill. In most restaurants a service charge (10-15%) is added into the total sum that’s why it’s not necessary to give the waiter a tip.
As well as restaurants most towns have a number of bars and cafes where you can get sandwiches and other snacks. There are also fast food restaurants specializing in cheap meals – especially hamburgers. Many pubs now have restaurants or grill rooms too. In some you can get a full range of dishes, in others the choice is more limited.
A fairly recent development is the growth of take – away restaurants. Here you can buy cooked meals to take home.
At a pub.
Pubs are an important part of British life. They are, as a rule quiet, rather
private places, large or small, new or old, in cities or in the countryside, with a friendly atmosphere where local people meet in the evening for company and conversation.
You can find every kind of person there; they come to relax, talk, play games like darts or billiards and have their usual drink or meal. The typical drink in pubs is beer. There are many different types of beer, which is served in pints (0.57 of a liter) or half pints. You can also buy spirits like whiskey, gin, vodka, wine. There are also a lot of soft drinks: coke, fruit juice or lemonade. A very refreshing drink on a hot day is a shandy ( lemonade mixed with beer).
The pub is the place where you meet people. You get to know other ‘regulars’ (завсегдатаи), you buy drinks in turn, which is called ‘to stand a round’ and you talk.
Some pubs have two bars ( the saloon bar and the public bar) and a restaurant. The saloon is better decorated and more comfortable (but the drinks are more expensive). The games and music are in public bars. In the restaurants you can get a complete meal.
There are strict laws regulating who is allowed into pubs and opening time. The times vary in different parts of the country but most of them are opened from 11a.m. to 2.30 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 11p.m. on weekdays. Children under 14 are not allowed to get into pubs. Young people under the age of 18 are not allowed to buy strong drinks.
