Eating in restaurants

In Britain you often have three courses: a starter (e.g. soup), a main course (e.g. steak or chicken), and a dessert (e.g. strawberries or ice cream). You may also have an aperitif (= a drink before the meal, e.g. gin or tonic), and coffee after the meal. When you pay the bill (= the money for the meal; Am En = check), you sometimes also leave a tip (= money) for the waiter if service is not included in the price. (10% is a normal tip). If it is a popular restaurant, you may also need to book (= reserve) a table in advance (= before you go).
