I do go to 2 hour meetings and it isn't (not to the bigwigs either) and that's fine as budgets stack up quickly - but we can bring our own in and often excuse ourselves to go and get some in the middle.
In the commercial word, I think that it'd be good form to offer something basic in the eats and drinks department though. Ditto when people are invited from outside (the department or the workplace).
By basic I mean not some fancy rare beans from Machu Pichu or 87 varieties of black, white green and herbal teas. I agree that it would be best if it were of the PG tips & Kenco standard or similar if that fits in with the financial position of the place concerned.
This was a meeting between three companies, but no drinks of any sort were offered. A colleague says that this is par for the course at that office. I shall learn my lesson for next time.
You could always be bold and ask ;) (Even if it's just a glass of water - to be honest if I asked for a glass of water after 2 hours and got told "no" I'd strongly consider refusing to carry on. But I'm like that.)
