Why don't we stop off here for a quick drink and a bite to eat?

• You are driving with your friend and you feel a bit hungry...
• Why don't we…? This is a way of making suggestions. Another way is to say shall we …?
• Stop off. This means stop, and go in somewhere for a little while.
• A quick drink. This means exactly what it says - you're not going to be in there all night. It's one beer or one coke.
• A bite to eat. This is a snack. Not a meal. Maybe a sandwich.
• So: If you have a quick drink and a bite to eat, you are probably in the bar / restaurant / cafe for only about 15 minutes.
