eleventh century.
• Pubs often have two bars, one usually quieter than the other, many
have a garden where people can sit in the summer. Children can go
in pub gardens with their parents.

5. • AFTERNOON TEA (The traditional 4 o'clock tea)
This is a small meal, not a drink. Traditionally it consists of tea (or coffee)
served with either of the following:
Freshly baked scones served with cream and jam, afternoon tea sandwiches
(thinly sliced cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off), assorted pastries.
HIGH TEA (The traditional 6 o'clock tea)
The British working population did not have Afternoon Tea. They had a meal
about midday, and a meal after work, between five and seven o'clock. This
meal was called 'high tea' or just 'tea'.
Traditionally eaten early evening, High tea was a substantial meal that
combined delicious sweet foods, such as scones, cakes, buns or tea breads,
with tempting savouries, such as cheese on toast, toasted crumpets, cold
meats and pickles or poached eggs on toast. This meal is now often replaced
with a supper due to people eating their main meal in the evenings rather than
at midday.
