I’m interested to know about the types of food and drink served in medieval inns and taverns. My (light) research has centred on Great British inns.

I’ve learned a bit about the meal “pottage”, but I was wondering if more “proper” meals were served (somewhat like modern restaurants). If so, what dishes were commonplace for the lower class?

Additionally, was mead and wine widely available, or were the choices largely limited to drinks like beer and ale in the average tavern?

Finally, how was it served? Were there bars like modern pubs, or was food and drink ordered and served some other way?
