As Glasgow diners prepare to take advantage of the government's Eat Out to Help Out scheme, your dogs needn't feel left out, with a whole host of venues in our city set to welcome in you and your pet pooch.
Diners across the country will receive 50% off their meals throughout August, starting this coming Monday, in a bid to boost the hospitality sector.
Restaurants who sign up will automatically deduct it from your food bill (non-alcoholic drinks are also included) on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays only - so you don’t need a voucher with you to take part.
You can only get a maximum of £10 off per diner but there is no limit to how many times you can make use of the offer throughout August.
We've compiled a list of Glasgow venues getting involved, here, but to see every food and drink spot taking part near you, you can visit the UK Government website, here.
As part of their new Dog Difference Report, the team at dog food company tails.com have put together a list of the dog-friendly restaurants offering the discount across Glasgow.
