How do you order drinks?

In almost all pubs you need to order your drink at the bar, so don’t wait around for someone to take your order from your table. The only exception to this is when you go to a “gastro pub”, aka a posh pub, for a meal. Then you will get table service. Pubs are busy at peak times such as after work and the weekends. It’s advisable to edge your way to the front of the queue but strictly NO pushing in. You will not be popular. Once at the front, get the attention of the bar staff by having your money ready. They will most likely say “what will it be” or “what are you having” and you give them your order. In some pubs they will ask if you want to start a tab, which means do you want to leave your debit or credit card behind the bar. In exchange they will give you a card with a number. Each time you place an order the staff will ask for that number and at the end they will present the bill to you.
