    Beer with meal while staying away

    I recall reading on HMRC's website that it's ok to have an alcoholic drink with your meal if you're staying away from home, and you can claim it as an expense.

    Would 3 bottles of beer and a bag of crisps be OK to claim?

          IIRC they talk in terms of "drinks taken with a meal, but not drinks at the bar". Obviously the kind of people who write HMRC's regulations would never think of dining in a pub, where there's no sensible distinction betwen the two things. They probably have a special provision for smoked salmon sandwiches eaten during the interval at the Royal Opera House though
