Britain’s public houses, affectionately shortened to pubs and also called inns. These licensed premises center on at least one public bar room where alcoholic drinks are sold for on-site consumption, and most have grown into major food outlets with dining rooms or restaurant areas serving full meals. The pub kitchen now spans classic pies and roasts to modern gastropub menus, making pubs significant employers and buyers in the foodservice economy. Hygiene, allergen management, and responsible alcohol service rules apply to them like any other caterer.
