How to Use Restaurants, Pubs, Tea Rooms
	Tea Rooms: You will find charming, family run tea rooms in most villages. Use them for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. Tea Rooms - Sample Menu: Look at a menu from a typical tea room to get an idea of what you can order and the cost.
	Take Away Restaurants: Foods "to go" are popular in Britain - Fish & Chips, Indian, Chinese, etc. Most small towns have a few take away places to choose from. A Fish & Chips Cart visits many small towns once a week.
	Prepared Meals: A healthier and more interesting alternative to fast food - prepared meals from the supermarket. These are very popular in England and both Marks and Spencer (M&S) and Waitrose have large selections. Heat them in the microwave. Also fabulous (rich) desserts.
	Pubs: Even the smallest village has a local pub (or so it seems), but pubs are no longer just for drinking. Go to pubs for a nice lunch or dinner or for a social evening drink. The Ploughman's Lunch: Description of one of the typical pub meals.
	Vegetarian: England is very vegetarian-friendly, but many of the dishes are based on cheese. If you are vegan, you may have a harder time, but you will find oriental and Indian restaurants with vegan dishes.
