outlawuk Posted August 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hello everyone, I'm new here, thoroughly enjoyed a 3 night cruise recently on Queen Victoria (my first ever cruise on any ship) and have just booked first sector of QM2 world cruise Soton-Dubai on 10th January in cheapest cabin. Anyhow... Are the pub meals free? I see prices on Cunard site for Todd English and speciality buffet areas in evening, but no mention of the pubs? On the 3 night 'booze cruise' (?!) the pub was so busy with World Cup revelers that I didn't even get to see a menu. In fact I barely even got a drink! Seriously though it was a fabulous experience. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleMoonlight Posted August 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 27, 2014 They are not free, they are pre paid. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperrn Posted August 27, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) The Golden Lion is a popular place to have lunch (no extra charge) and therefore fills up early. On days where there is a trivia quiz right before lunch you'll find many from the quiz will stay seated (so brush up on your trivia and join a team to ensure a seat! ;) ) There are many photos of the QM2's Golden Lion, of the interiors of QM2, and a "tour" of her public rooms, via the link below, I hope they help :) . Bon Voyage! Edited August 27, 2014 by pepperrn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. You have about six different meals to choose from, more or less the same each day plus a pudding, even when busy service not bad at all. ALL FREE.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToadOfToadHall Posted August 27, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Pub meals - free or charged? Neither. But they are inclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzseeka Posted August 27, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Just returned from first trip on QE. Really enjoyed it and thought the ship very elegant. I had the fish & chip lunch in the Lion Pub on two occasions and it was excellent, DH had the steak and ale pie and would recommend that too. We went in especially to listen to a Dixieland set by members of the orchestra and couldn't resist the pub grub! The entertainment was very good as well. A good experience and definitely worth doing ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OarToOar Posted August 29, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Does the pub also serve basic pub snacks? Peatnuts, pork scratchings, crisps, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted August 29, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yes there are usually little dishes of salty items available, depending on the health alert status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artemis Posted August 29, 2014 #16 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Gosh, pork scratchings weren't on offer in August. What did we miss?! Sent from my iPad using Cruise Critic Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
