Booth Etiquette


The traditional booth. It’s a sought-after spot as you can have your own private conversation separate from everyone else with only the wait staff to lean over into your area to make your enquiry at which point you can halt your conversation and spot the extra listener who has come to join the party. You can plot and scheme as much as you like while the rest of the pub looks on in envy wondering about the private conversation you’re having and whether it involves them. You can sup pints and summon more to you, providing you’ve got someone to go and get them. If you can fill a booth with four people, you’re in for a good time. Any less and you’re illustrating who is the spare wheel of your group; and if it’s just yourself or just one other then you’re being too selfish and should move to another part of the bar immediately.
