A man has explained how he managed to spend a full day eating out at some of the best restaurants around - as well as nipping in to two places for snacks - for less than £32.
Sam Littleworth and his girlfriend Shannon visited five different restaurants in their day long trip, getting every penny of value they could out of Chancellor Rishi Sunak's Eat Out to Help Out scheme.
"Knowing that this sort of offer would probably never come around again, I had to take advantage of it," Sam explained on the Mouthy Money site.
"I decided I was going to hit as many spots as possible in the 13 days available."
Here are the 5 places he visited, and what he spent, on his biggest day.
Breakfast - £13 - Dishoom
"To get the ball rolling, I start day one of my food tour extravaganza with a breakfast at cult Indian restaurant Dishoom, in London’s trendy Soho district," Sam said.
Dishoom - with branches in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh - offers an Indian twist on the traditional British fry up that has won fans across the country.
They ordered one vegan breakfast and chili cheese on toast with fried eggs, accompanied with a pot of tea and a double espresso costing a total of £13.
Lunch - £16 - Prix Fixe Brasserie
French bistro Prix Fixe Brasserie was up next for lunch.
"Even in normal times it has a phenomenal value two-course set lunch, which includes pan fried pork terrine and beef bourguignon, for £12.90 a head," Sam said.
"So that’s what I plump for."
Lunch for two, including service, came in at just £16.
Afternoon snack - £4 - Patty & Bun
Award-winning burger joint Patty & Bun was next up, with a “Ari Gold” cheeseburger costing just £4 under the deal, but the snacks weren't quite done with yet.
Second afternoon snack - Ice cream
After burgers were finished, Sam and Shannon headed to Italian gelateria Amorino for a half-price ice cream.
Dinner - £20 - Steak and chips
Doubling down on the discounts, up-market restaurant Hawksmoor knocked £10 off the price of its steak and chips.
Add in the Eat Out to Help Out discount and that meant a £30 meal cost just £10.
In even better news, while alcoholic drinks are excluded from the offer, Hawksmoor lets you bring your own wine for a £5 corkage fee.
The award-winning steakhouse has branches across London, as well as in Edinburgh and Manchester if you fancy taking up the offer yourself.
"All in all, it’s been a glorious day in Soho and the £50 I saved on food (We spent £63 in total across the 5 venues for both of us) made it feel like I’d picked the winner of the 3:20 at Sandown yesterday. Which of course I didn’t," Sam said.
"And the best part about it? That was just the start of my August cut-price food journey."
