How do British pubs work?

Do you order at the table?

Are you expected to tip?

And when’s closing time?
5
Hi, I'm Ali Ross, the landlady at The Coach & Horses here in London. And I'll be here to help you understand what a British pub is all about.
6
The Coach & Horses is located in the Soho district, in Central London. Many of its patrons stop by in the afternoon, right after work – mainly on Thursdays or Fridays.
7
There's a sense of a community in a British pub.
8
It's a social thing where the people can interact, let their hair down, relax.
9
It's like an extended family.
10
It's quite a British thing: Any opportunity you can do, you go the pub.
11
So what should foreign visitors know before they go?
12
We often get a lot of people, from typically Europe, come in and either ask for a free table or sit down at the table and wait to be served. And this is not typical in England. Typically, people go straight to the bar and order and then go to a table.
13
But what to order? The different kinds of beer can be bewildering, as some aren't known abroad.
14
We'll start off with London Pride. It's a real ale or a hand-pull ale - naturally carbonated, unlike lagers where CO2 is put into the barrel.
15
And they have a little bit of a biscuity, malty finish.
16
Let's try a lager. If people want something that's cold and refreshing, and they don't want too much flavor maybe, they don't want anything too hop-forward or they don't want a real ale that might be a little bit warmer, then go for a lager.
17
So here we have cider, a drink made from apples, the pressing and fermentation of apples. You drink it in pints over ice a lot of the time. People like it really super cold.
18
Something that's very popular at the moment is Guinness; it is from Dublin, of course. The flavor is quite mellow for a stout and the texture is a little creamy so it's actually quite pleasant on the palate.
19
Beer is always ordered by the pint.
20
One pint is just over half a liter. How many do folks typically drink?
21
Somewhere between six and ten probably.
22
A few but not too many. You need to know your limits, I suppose.
23
I can be a power drinker when I want to - or just have a couple, like today.
24
Seven or eight pints, then go for dinner somewhere.
25
Here are some do’s and don’ts when ordering at the bar: You definitely don’t want people waving in your face. It can be quite rude, actually.
26
Especially the waving of a card or money or something. So just wait patiently for your turn and people are usually quite respectful of this in the pub.
27
And here's another tip: You can't just go and buy a drink for yourself. If you're in a group of people, you offer to buy rounds.
28
And if you don't that stays with you for a long time Oh, yeah! You're remembered as the person who doesn’t do that.
29
Yeah, and you're known as cheap and that's bad.
30
Britain boasts around 45-thousand pubs, many with a long and storied past. In London, John Warland of Liquid History Tours shows visitors these pubs and explains their function in British society.
31
The need for warmth, shelter, food, companionship as a meeting place is probably 2000 years old in the format we know today. A lot of the pubs we visit are probably of the Victorian Era, when they probably hit their heyday, So that kind of stems from the mid-1800s.
32
'Pub' is short for 'public house' – meaning, a place that's open to everybody.
33
The best thing about a pub is that it's welcome to everyone. Young, old, rich, poor.
34
You could be the CEO of a finance bank, or you could be a guy who's been cleaning the streets. Anybody who can walk through the door, pay the price for a humble pint of beer you can share the same space.
35
Also typical for a British pub: Many of the regulars live nearby and the atmosphere is informal. That's also reflected in the décor.
36
So typically in British pubs, you'll find a lot of wood and then a mixture of textures as well, so like here we got an Axminster carpet. The carpet sort of adds elements, an extension of the home - somewhere that's made for comfort and a little bit more familiarity, maybe, that you might find from your home.
37
Something else to note: in pubs, you generally aren’t expected to tip.
38
A lot of our regular customers often buy the team drinks. But I think in places like America the tipping policy over there is completely different to how it is here.
39
So, if we are offered a drink then we'll just pop it on their bill, charge them accordingly, and just print the receipt and leave it for later. So, we've got just a lot of receipts up there.
40
And anyone who comes to a pub should also know when it’s time to go.
41
Twenty minutes to eleven we'll ring the bell for last orders and shout that out: Last orders! And then again at 11 o'clock, to mark the final closure, we'll ring the bell again.
42
Guests aren't particularly always happy to leave. Obviously, you want to continue the party. But typically they'll finish up their pints promptly and be on their way.
43
What's it like where you live? Where do you go to socialize?
44
And what do you drink while you're there? Tell us in the Comments!

練習のヒント
このビデオの内容を練習する際は、shadowspeak方法を活用してください。特に、ビデオの会話のペースが自然であるため、聞き取ったフレーズをすぐに繰り返すことが効果的です。例えば、パブでのオーダーの仕方を学ぶ際に、実際にそのフレーズを声に出して練習することで、口が馴染み、スムーズに話せるようになります。
ビデオのスピードに合わせて、音声を何度も繰り返し聞いてみてください。また、話すトーンや感情を真似することで、リスニングスキルとスピーキングスキルを同時に向上させることができます。これにより、YouTubeで英語学習がさらに充実し、shadowspeaksを実践することができるでしょう。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
