Restaurants, pubs and cafes will be offering heavily-discounted meals during August in a bid to boost the hospitality sector following the Covid-19 lockdown.
Customers will be able to enjoy 50 per cent off eat-in meals ordered at participating outlets under the Government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme.
The offer, which is only available between Mondays and Wednesdays, will be capped at £10 per diner and does not apply to alcohol. More than 72,000 outlets are reported to have signed up to the scheme, that begins today (Monday).
Participating eateries will deduct 50 per cent from the bill and charge the discount to the Treasury.
