UK Gallons to Tablespoons

UK Gallon (Imperial Gallon)

A UK gallon, also called an Imperial gallon, is a volume unit used primarily in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries. It is larger than the US gallon, holding the equivalent of 4 quarts, 8 pints, or 160 fluid ounces. The Imperial gallon is still commonly used to measure fuel at petrol stations and in older beverage packaging.

Because the UK gallon is different from the US gallon, international conversions can be misleading if the type of gallon isn’t specified. Using a volume converter ensures accurate translation to liters, cups, or other measurement systems when comparing product sizes from different countries.

Tablespoon

A tablespoon (tbsp) is a common US customary unit of volume often used in cooking and measuring small quantities of ingredients. One tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons or about 14.79 milliliters, making it a practical unit for sauces, oils, spices, and baking ingredients. Because it appears in nearly every recipe, the tablespoon is a familiar part of kitchen measurement tools.

When converting tablespoons to other units — such as cups, teaspoons, or milliliters — the numbers don’t always convert cleanly. A converter helps ensure accuracy so recipes turn out correctly, especially when working with international sources that use metric measurements.
