THE BRITISH PUB

A pub is a house where drinks, alcoholic drinks and many times food are served. Pubs are very popular places around Britain. They are places where you can meet friends and chat. The history of the pubs is linked to the Romans. The establishment of a net of roads allowed the creation of different inns for the travellers to have refreshments. These were called “tabernae”. Later, during the middle Ages, inns provided lodging, food and drink to travellers.  Then, these businesses evolved until what we know today as the traditional pub. They are considered as institutions.  Let’s see some facts about pubs:
