Pub meals - free or charged?

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.

Yes the lunches are free hut you have to pay for drinks. Gets very busy

They are not free, they are pre paid. :D

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!

Pepper,

I looked at many of your picture sets. You have an astounding eye for taking a great picture. Thank you. :)

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

Neither. But they are inclusive.

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 ;)

Thank you again, sincere best wishes and happy sailings for the future :)

Thank you for all the helpful answers.

Does the pub also serve basic pub snacks?

Peatnuts, pork scratchings, crisps, etc?

Yes there are usually little dishes of salty items available, depending on the health alert status.

Gosh, pork scratchings weren't on offer in August. What did we miss?!
