Many housewives in Britain have nice kitchens in their apartments. But they have neither time nor desire to cook. They often buy ready-made food at the supermarkets or go to restaurants.

A very popular pastime is eating out in a restaurant. In most towns there is a wide variety of restaurants serving different types of food at different prices. Most British towns now have Chinese or Indian restaurants which serve quite cheap food; Italian restaurants are also popular and French restaurants are for expensive high quality cooking.

As well as restaurants most towns have a number of bars and cafes where you can get sandwiches and other snacks. There are also hamburger 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.

In take-away restaurants you can buy cooked meals to take home. Fish and chip shops are very popular. You can have some meal there (fish, but sometimes chicken or sausage, too) or take it away and eat somewhere outside. Now there are taken-away Chinese and Indian restaurants in many towns. Your order is packed in special containers.
