Traditionally, there is not table service in pubs. The process is to select a numbered table, place food and beverage orders with the barman using the table number, pay when ordering and the kitchen will deliver your food to the table. For beverage refills, go to the bar and pay each time, no tabs. Recently, some pubs are switching to our full service system so best to ask.
