Do I need to book a table to eat at a restaurant, and how do I do it?

It really depends on the type of restaurant and the day of the week. If it is a posh restaurant on a Saturday night, then you will probably have to book well in advance. However, if you want to get lunch during the week, you probably won't have to. It is always best to ring the restaurant to check, and if in doubt, always book.

A website called Toptable allows you to search for restaurants close to you and book a table, as well as save up to 50% on your meal.
