British ETIQUETTE

Good etiquette is always something that travels well, no matter whether you’re in the United States or the United Kingdom. Table manners are especially important when dining, and Britain is a place where they are an absolute necessity, from fancy dinner parties to dining at someone’s house for the first time. We’ll cover the basics of what you need to know before you dine in Britain, from basic table settings to what to do during the meal and some other helpful tidbits.

At this point, you have responded to a casual invitation or a formal RSVP to dinner at someone’s house. If you have any dietary restrictions, please let the host know prior to the event. It can be customary to bring something with you if dining in someone’s home, like flowers, candy, or a bottle of wine for your host. The host may not open the bottle for the meal, but that doesn’t mean the gift isn’t appreciated. They may simply save it for another dinner party or add it to their wine cellar to enjoy another time. Also, be sure that you arrive on time, if not a bit early (just not too early). Also, be sure to dress for the occasion based upon the type of dinner party it is. It’s hard to go wrong with business casual, but if you know it’s going to be a fancier party than that, dress appropriately with a coat and tie or a nice dress.

Once seated at the table, you may notice the setting is a bit fancier than you’re used to back home. The fanciest you might see will have three plates, three knives, three spoons, three forks, and at least two glasses: one for water and one for wine or another beverage. Your salad plate should be placed over your dinner plate, while your bread plate sits above and to the left of the others. On the right side, you’ll have a dinner knife, then your salad knife, followed by your dinner spoon, and lastly, your soup spoon. On the left side will be your dinner fork closest to the plates with your salad fork on the other side of it. The idea is that you use the utensils in the order of the courses, with soup and salad going first, followed by the main course.






Your butter knife should be positioned with your bread, but its sole use is for butter, and it’s actually permissible to pull the bread apart before spreading butter. The dessert fork and/or dessert spoon will sit above the plates. Your napkins should be folded and off to the left side or placed on the plate until it is time to eat and then placed in your lap when the meal begins.

Furthermore, you should not eat until your host signals that it is time. The placement of the utensils partially indicates which hand you should use. The forks should always remain in your left hand, while the knives should always be used with your right. Hands should be kept in your lap when you’re not using your utensils, and you should not place your hands or elbows on the table. If dishes are passed around the table, it is customary to pass to your left, not to your right, or across the table. When you’re finished with your part of the meal, the appropriate utensils for that course should be placed on the side of the plate to indicate that you’re finished.

These are just some basic table manners to follow. Dining etiquette can be ever more intricate depending on the type of meal you’re having, or it can be even less formal. For example, it is perfectly acceptable to eat with your hands at a barbecue in someone’s backyard. If all else fails, carefully observe your host and fellow guests for clues about how they behave. And of course, no matter how formal the event, be sure to thank your hosts for the meal and a wonderful tiime.
