Should they sell Tea and coffee in pubs

[MyPithyCat]

That'd be cool even in Winter and people still want to use the outdoor area.

Well OP, I tried to order coffee in a pub last week and they had stopped doing it… Bring back the coffee!!

Most pubs have a Sassy type coffee machine

Sticking that on to make the coffee whilst doing other drinks is no worse than someone ordering a Guinness which takes ages

Most do and have done for at least 30 years.

a lot also do takeaway coffee

AS reveals that OP is probably not a contender in this year's 'Great Thinkers of our Time' contest.

Superb.

Yabu cos they do!!

All the pubs near me serve tea and coffee. They mostly offer evening meals and lots of people like to have a hot drink after their dinner. They serve them at other times too!

Most of them do but we were on a winter walk last year and along a seafront, it was freezing and we spotted a pub, the only one along that stretch and it didnt do any hot drinks!!

Thats not the only time thats happened either, there are lots that dont sell hot drinks, I think they're crazy given that pubs are closing all the time, unfortunately they need to be everything to everyone or go bust.

our knit and natter group meet there as we found they do tea, coffee, hot chocolate AND CAKE! Proper home-made wedges of cake!

In Australia most pubs do serve tea and coffee 😊

OP quite clearly doesn’t frequent pubs very often 😂

They do!

Thought they did.

You don't think most are struggling enough to keep going without turning away this profit

nearly all pubs I go to sell hot drinks. I sometimes get one in winter.

Err they do - have been ordered tea and coffee in every pub for the last 30 years

🤣🤣

They do!

Many do, but one that a group of my friends goes to regularly don't do any hot drinks at all. Tricky for me as I don't drink, I somewhat resent paying for branded mineral water, get tired of lime and soda, and I don't really go in for fizzy drinks.

I would love it if there was more of a culture in the UK like there is in other parts of Europe where bars serve everything from herbal tea to hard spirits all day and until late at night I have a particularly fond recent memory of an evening in a very beautiful and quite glam and buzzing bar in Madrid where my friend had a few glasses of nice wine and I ordered a hot chocolate, and the waiter didn't turn a hair.

Not around here it's not! Proper machines & nicer than any of the local cafes!

They all do now, and have proper coffee machines, as pp said.

All the pubs that I can think of round here do serve tea and coffee.

You might be a little behind the times, I think.

Lol I was looking for this comment! Sorry this me 😁 - not 4 though haha

My fave is at Xmas ordering a hot chocolate with a dash of baileys - until I realised it literally added a fiver to the cost 😱, so now I carry my own miniatures like an old man and sneak a bit in myself!

’they’ also have tea and coffee in 99.9% of UK pubs too.

OP is posting from 1980. Or has never been to the UK and is getting her idea of British pubs from Charles Dickens.
