It's been a beautiful summer day and after wondering round the village for two hours we decided to have lunch and chose this particular tearoom. We ordered two sandwich lunches, a pot of tea and a pot of coffee .... and ..... yes ... I asked for a glass of tap water.. and .. yes .. I was told they did not have any tap water. Very disappointing end to what had up until that point been a lovely day. Come on Cottage Tearoom keep your customers happy and supply a thirsty visitor a glass of water.

One thing I really like about the US is that they will bring you tap water without even asking. It's just basic. This is one of my pet peeves as well!

Don't they have a reputation for being tight? (I say this as a Scotsman!) Never experienced anywhere that didn't provide tap water. However, on holiday at a boutique hotel in Thailand, we were stunned when we were charged around £5 for a bottle of still water! Needless to say we were on the complimentary stuff from then on.

I am staggered that that isn't the case in the UK. If mains supply isn't available, I am sure a note to that effect would be warranted to explain the situation. However put simply, any place that has "no tap water" as a policy would immediately lose me as a customer.

However you are exempt if your not on the mains supply. The other point I wished to make is that it has only been a legal requirment for the last few weeks to serve tap water for free.
