There are no definite rules for tipping. If you feel that
you have received good service then you may wish to leave a tip. This is most
common in restaurants, where it is normal to leave 10-15% of the total bill but
you should check to see if a service charge has already been included. Tipping
in hotels is also at your discretion. It is not normal to tip bar staff,
although they are sometimes offered a "drink", which they can take when off
duty. Taxi or cab drivers are often given a tip, particularly on longer
journeys, with £1.00 to £2.00 normally sufficient.
