      I definitely like to go to a pub and order fish and chips but I also love having a soup of the day in the afternoon and look at the specials but I also love to go for a burger and chips the pub is always very comforting and gives me a sense of home so if you are on holiday it is definitely the perfect place to go on a night out

      @@michw3755 I did a bit of reading, and this is how I understand it. First of all taverns are a thing of the past. When they did exist, the distinctions were a matter of emphasis. Pubs served mostly ale and beer, sometimes other drinks, and had no lodging. Taverns were places that served wine and fancy food; they may or may not have lodging. And inns provided lodging; and may or may not have served food.

    The Red Lion, as others have mentioned is a chain of pubs. They're considered good, but pricey, and not how I see a real pub. Try local pubs, tucked away in little villages. Usually with whimsical names like "The Wig and Quill" or "The Hen and Bucket" that kinda thing. *Those* are where you'll find the best food, and a fantastic friendly atmosphere!

    You were right with your assumption that pubs only sell drinks. It's only since the 80s when the 'gastro pub' was invented that food has been readily available in public houses. Nowadays you will find it hard to find a pub that doesn't do food especially in the countryside. People do not drink drive these days so you can't have somewhere in the middle of nowhere that only sells drinks.

  • @xForbiddenxDesiresx
    @xForbiddenxDesiresx Před 2 lety +65

    There's both pubs that are only drinks and some that gastro-pubs, plus it does depend on the pub in terms of what you get for food. Ones in the country side of villages tend to be more homemade homely or posher food, while you tend to get pub chains in more built up areas.

    Obscure British driving game: "pub cricket". The objective is to spot pubs. Points are scored based on how many legs the name of the pub has. Lions have 4 legs, so "the red lion" is worth 4 points.

    Theres like 3 levels, most pubs either only have pork scratchings and peanuts or have a specific pub lunch where you dont really get a choice (usually a Sunday dinner type thing) and then theres pubs that are almost restaurant like and have lots of food. You cant really know whats what until you go in. Also it is quite tavern like but a tavern has a place to stay the night.

    I grew up in a small city and we have pub's, also called a public house. Beer with fish and chips they also have special soups and great bread. My favorite pub is an old building where they have leather couches and chandeliers above the tables. They also have open mic poetry night, it's called a beer, dinner and poetry reading. I use to read my poetry there on the weekends. 👍😁 I live in California. An Irish family runs the pub. They have Irish food and drinks.

    To answer your question, these days the differences between a pub and a tavern are not as clear, but in the Middle Ages, a pub was a local cultural center serving ale and food while a tavern served more "upper-class" drinks like wine.

    Pubs vary a lot. There's little local village pubs like the ones you see in Midsomer Murders that are often very traditional and cosy, full of the locals who know eachother. Then there's gastro-pubs like this one which are a bit fancier and serve decent food but are often quite expensive. Then there's chains like Weatherspoons (often just referred to as Spoons) which are a bit rough, serve cheap drinks and food and are often full of poor students or your friendly neighborhood alcoholic having their breakfast pint.

  • @randomobserver8168

    Canada's bar culture was all about drinking and maybe cheap cheese sandwiches to prove they served food at certain hours, but pub culture more or less got imported here in the 80s, roughly around the time pubs in the motherland started upping their game as well, so we profited. Of course, a lot of our early ones were corporate places just capitalizing on a fad- call it the Anglophile version of Chili's, the Olive Garden or maybe Chi Chi's, for those who remember that. I remember one called The Pawnbroker's Daughter. Others always involved words like Friar and Firkin. Sometimes it just seemed like a ploy to corner the narrowing Fish and Chip market and drive corner fish places out of business.

  • @needles23

    What you went to is not a standard pub. It's a 'gastropub' or sometimes called a 'Bar/Kitchen' (a cozy restaurant where alcohol serves a huge part).
    Standard pubs don't have anything but a deep fryer (and maybe a grill). Everything else they may offer is microwaved.
    You can tell whether it's a standard pub or not from the prices. If it's less than £10 for a meal, you're in for some microwave food.
    You will not get anything like what you got from a standard pub.

    100% if you’re visiting UK, eat in pubs. Not ‘town pubs’, which are the sports bar type, and not chain pubs like whetherspoons. Gastropubs. Look for pubs with lots of dining space and look at the menu online. Some are absolutely amazing! They’re also child and dog friendly.
    We don’t say tavern. That’s out of Harry Potter or some medieval movie.

    A tavern in the United States means it is a bar that only sells beer and wine, no hard alcohol at all. I know this because we have a family bar that was named with tavern at the end. We ended up getting a liquor licenses many year later and we decided to keep the name even though we now serve hard liquor. I'm assuming it is different in the UK..

    To elaborate even further on my last comment, for me pub food is a bottle of beer with a cigarette butt floating in it.
