there's dinner and supper also ...
still they call the evening meal "tea"

I suppose (= my feeling) that dinner is, in fact, also the evening meal, but a bit more "official", not just an evening meal.

I think you go out for dinner in a smart restaurant, and have tea at home, or perhaps in the local pub.

I never heard "supper" (only when I studied English).
