Which? Shorts podcast: how much money should you tip your waiter?
Having worked at the BBC and in commercial radio before joining Which?, James produces our always-on podcasts, and oversaw the launch of our member-exclusive podcasts in 2025.
In this week's episode of Which? Shorts, we're shining a light on tipping culture in the UK.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about the etiquette when it comes to tipping, you’re not alone. How much should you tip? Do you know if your waiter actually gets the money? And if you don't tip, could you say thanks in a more cost-effective way?
Listen here to the full episode, written by Ellie Simmonds and read by Lucia Ariano.
