Tipping isn’t a big part of British culture, unlike in North America, where
waiters and waitresses are paid below minimum wage, Tips are usually appreciated, but offering a tip of some services can cause confusion.
In casual restaurants, where you pay for your order at a counter but food is brought to your table, tipping is uncommon. You are welcome to leave a pound or two if you wish. In restaurants where you place your order with a waiter or a waitress and receive your food and bill at your table, it’s customary to tip around 10 percent. In some restaurants, a service charge may be added 1o the bill automatically, typically 10 or 12.5 percent. In this case, you don’t ne ed to add a further tip. When you pay by credit card, the machine may ask if you want to add a tip. Check your bill to see if a service charge has already been added before paying—if so you don’t need to add a tip on the machine. You can request the servic e charge be removed from your bill if you are unhappy with the service. In some
cases a restaurant may print “service not included” on the bill or menu. This is a request for a tip. You’re not forced to offer anything, but 10 percent would be normal in this situation. Tipping in cafes and fast food restaurant is not expected.
If you use a taxi, round the fare up to the nearest pound shown on the meter. On a journey from or to the airport in a booked minicab you might wish to tip 2 or 3 pounds if the driver helps with your bags.
Be sure to check a country’s tipping culture before you start your trip. For more information, visit TripAdvisor com.

Our perception of how food tastes is influenced by cultery like knives, forks, and spoons, research suggests.
“Size, weight, shape and color all have an effect on flavor,” says a University of Oxford team. Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt taste better, experiments show.
The study in the journal Flavour suggests the brain makes judgments on food even before it goes in the mouth. More than 100 students took part in three experiments looking at the influence of weight, color and shape of cutlery on taste. The researchers found that when the weight of the cutlery is consistent with expectations, this had an influence on how the food tastes. For example, food tasted sweeter on the small spoons than are traditionally used to serve desserts.
Color contrast was also an important factor—white yoghurt eaten from a white spoon was rated sweeter that white yoghur tasted on a black spoon. Similarly, when testers were offered cheese on a knife, spoon, fork or toothpick, they found that the cheese on a knife tasted saltiest.
“How we experience food is a multisensory experience involving taste, feel of the food in our mouths, pleasant smells, and he feasting of our eyes, ”said Pro. Charles Spence a nd Dr. Vanessa Harrar. “ Even before we put food into our mouths, our brains have made a judgment about it, which affects our overall experience.”
