Do you tip at afternoon tea?
Do you tip at afternoon tea? Between 10% and 15% of the bill is considered a good tip for polite and helpful service. IMO, for afternoon tea for two, where service has been spot on, a crisp tenner for the waiter is about right. The key thing is to enjoy yourself, that's what you're there for!
Are you expected to tip in the UK?
Tipping is not expected in Britain the way it is in the U.S., Windsor said. A tip is considered a bonus, not a right, she added. One of the main reasons for the difference is that service industry workers are paid differently in the U.K. and the U.S., Windsor and Bryant said.
Do the British tip at restaurants?
tipping is more and more common; Americans are accustomed to leaving 20% at minimum, however the most common practice in the UK is to leave between 10 and 12%. In nicer restaurants up to 15% (provided that the service charge is not included) is a good rule of thumb.
