snacks and drinks on the plane, just trying to make sure I
have enough sterling as we are flying from ireland first.
Thanks

It depends on the airline to be honest

Just depends who you fly with. The majority of scheduled flights ie Virgin & BA dont charge and the majority of charter will charge but it can change with what airline you fly!

I am flying with Virgin

Drinks and food are free as they are a scheduled airline

Just to confuse the issue a bit here, most of the US sceduled carriers have now started to charge for some drinks (possibly only the alcoholic ones).

We flew with Brittania last year and there was a Drinking water tap near the galley where you could fill your own cup/bottle, I had never noticed this before - do all flights have them ?

We travelled US Airways and American Airlines this year and both charge for Alcoholic ones (£3/US5/Euro 5 each drink). All the the other drinks are free.

It's not true - we flew last minute with Britannia last October and had to pay for meals.
