London's pub lunch would like to have a word with you.
- worik 4y agoI was gobsmacked by the way English people quaff beer at lunchtime.
- kodah 4y agoI went to a lot of pub lunches while I was there. Rarely, if ever, do I remember drinking at a pub lunch. People go because they have fast lunch specials. You go to the same place at night and it's a bar.
- bluehatbrit 4y agoEnglishmen here - some people have a beer at lunch and some people don't. I usually don't, especially if I have a meeting in the afternoon. I've never seen anyone comment on it either way though. The most that'll happen is if there's just 2 or 3 of you going to the pub for lunch and someone might ask "are you guys drinking?" just to figure out if they want to or not but that's about it.
- bluehatbrit 4y agoIt always makes me laugh when American's experience this for the first time. It's all across the UK, not just England. It really makes you realise the cultural differences despite speaking the same language. That said, I've never seen anyone put under pressure to drink around work events or lunches, I usually lean towards not drinking myself.
