- Luncheon - lighter fare appropriate for a pub

- Afternoon Tea - sweet biscuits, cakes and buns to accompany a caffeinated pick-me-up

- Supper - a hot meal of meat, veg, and mushrooms with a sweet finish

- Dinner - slow cooked roasts and puddings that take hours to make, but are well worth the wait.
