Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream - Scotland in 2025

Practical information : Take a break Scotland

Timetable

Tearooms often close around 4 or 5 pm, but pubs are open much later, until midnight, 1 hour or more, depending on the day of the week.

Budget & Tips

The food in the pubs is very good. At lunchtime, you can have a snack or sandwich (between £5 and £10) or a main course (around £15). In the evening, prices rise a little, and you can dine on a main course for around £20. Pub food has its classics, gourmet and hearty, not to be missed.

Age restrictions

It is possible to enter a pub with children, but some places prohibit minors from entering at certain times (evenings) or in certain areas (gambling). To consume alcohol, you must be at least 18 years old. If you want to buy alcohol in a supermarket and you look under 25, don't be surprised if you're asked for identification.

What's very local

When you discover your first pubs, you'll be amazed at the number of beers on offer. There are often at least a dozen tapbeers on tap, as well as a wide range of craft and world beers on tap. We'll be happy to advise you on a beer if you don't know which one to choose, and we'll even let you taste some. The whisky and gin lists are also well-stocked. If you prefer soft drinks, you'll be delighted: there's a wide choice to vary from the usual colas, orange sodas and traditional fruit juices. Try Irn Bru, ginger-beers (alcohol-free, despite the name), elderberry lemonade, rose lemonade, vanilla-strawberry soda... There's something for every palate!

Smokers

Pubs and cafes are non-smoking.
