Inns

I would like to compare and contrast the Inns in Hungary and in United Kingdom. We called in Hungary: Vendéglő, and csárda.
  It is almost the same, but there is a little difference. So the same thing is that the Inn is not just where you can eat, you can stay for days. It is not like a 5 star hotel, it is like a “rural hotel”.
  In UK the Inn has got a very long history. In the early centuries the inn wasn’t just to stay and eat, people could fed their horses. The Inn is typically long established and located in the country or along a highway. Some pub call themselves inn, because of long establishment. All of the inns are individual, and the inns are not the same on South and on North. They offer traditional british food and drink (beer, ale, cider). Nowadays a lot of inns stand.


In Hungary we know two type of inn. The old one is called csárda, the modern one is vedéglő. First of all I would like to introduce the csárda. The csárda is located in a habited area, or along the highway. The csárdas have been placed with 20-40km distance from each other. This was the place where people could eat and stay, and fed their horses. The heyday was in the 18th century, and nowadays there some of them still stand. It was built in a traditional hungarian folk style. The roof was built from straw and there was a porch. Offers a small variety of traditional hungarian food, and drinks (beer, wine, pálinka). You can listen traditional hungarian live folk music.


The vendéglő is a little bit different from csárda. It is more modern, and you can just eat. It is smaller than a restaurant, and it has got a family atmosphere. The customers are the local residents, or they come from the near villages, towns.  The owner takes his/her part from the tasks. You can eat not just traditional hungarian food  but international food so the variety is much bigger than in the csárda.
