In the UK, people tend to eat their evening meal between 5pm and 8pm, and most places you can eat and drink at close before midnight which might be a lot earlier that what you’re used to at home
The local towns, Newcastle under Lyme and Hanley, have various different restaurants containing both English and international cuisine. In England, cuisine such as Indian and Chinese is very popular but it may not be the traditional food you would expect. English people also love fish and chips, so you may see many fish and chip shops.
If you are wanting to visit a restaurant on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, you may need to make a reservation. Typically restaurants are a lot busier on these days. If you order a takeaway on these days, you may also have to wait longer for food to arrive. To make a reservation, Google the name of the restaurant and call the phone number provided. You will have to give them your name, what time you’d like to visit and how many people will be coming.
Some restaurants may have a dress code, so make sure to check the website for details. This usually involves not wearing sports clothing or trainers, but it is different for every restaurant so make sure to check.
We also have dessert restaurants and takeaways, which serve sweets including ice cream, pancakes, waffles and cakes.
In many restaurants, a takeaway service is available. This means you can either collect the food or have it delivered to you, and you eat it at home.
There are various apps which you can download including JustEat and UberEats. By using these apps, you can order food from a selection of restaurants and have someone pick it up for you for an extra fee.
