Meals in England – a guide for visitors

Meals and Snacks
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are the three main meals. A lot of workers have a 10-minute
break in the morning (one name for this is ‘elevenses’) when they stop work to enjoy a cup of
tea (or coffee) with a biscuit. They have a similar break for a drink and a snack in the
afternoon. Many hotels and restaurants in England serve ‘afternoon tea’ between 2–5 p.m.
This is a light meal of tea, sandwiches, and cakes and it’s very popular with shoppers and
tourists.
Breakfast
A traditional full English breakfast is what many hotels serve to guests. It includes egg,
bacon, sausage, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, and toast, with tea or coffee and it contains
around 1,000 calories (women need around 2,000 calories a day, and men need around
2,500). However, most people start their working day with a piece of toast or some cereal –
some don’t have anything at all.
Lunch
Lunch is between midday and 1.30 p.m., and in England people are more likely to have a
smaller meal in the middle of the day. For example, a sandwich and a packet of crisps, or a
takeaway, which they can eat at their desk. They often work while they eat. If it’s someone’s
birthday, a group of people who work together might go to a restaurant or a pub for lunch.
Dinner
Dinner (also called ‘supper’ in the south of the country and ‘tea’ in the north) is the biggest
meal of the day and we have it between 6 and 8 p.m. In the past, the traditional evening
meal was ‘meat and two veg (vegetables)’ then a pudding, and, on Fridays, a lot of people
ate fish. Today, many families enjoy a traditional dinner on Sundays, but during the rest of
the week we like to cook lots of different things, including food from other countries. Indian
food is now more popular in England than fish and chips. Around two million of us go to
Indian restaurants every week!

A English people visiting other countries  B hotel owners 
