Toby Carvery and Harvester to extend Eat Out to Help Out for 2 weeks in September

Casual dining chains Toby Carvery and Harvester have agreed to extend the Eat Out to Help Out scheme for two more weeks, after it closes to the public on August 31.

The chains, which are both owned by parent company Mitchells & Butler, said customers can get half price meals until September 9.

It means an unlimited carvery for one will cost £3.65, instead of £7.30, while steak and chips will be down to £6.40 from £12.80.

Meanwhile, a dirty burger combo at Harvester, which comes with a side of ribs, will set you back £8 instead of the usual £16.

It means customers will continue to get 50% off their meals - up to the value of £10 per head - after the government's scheme closes to the public.

The chains join the likes of Pizza Hut, Bills, Tesco Cafe and The Lebanese Bakery who have all agreed to extend the initiative which first came into force on August 3.

It was designed to give the hospitality sector a boost following the coronavirus lockdown.

The government scheme is due to end on Bank Holiday Monday August 31 and spaces are fast booking up.

More than 64million meals have been claimed so far - with a petition launched online for the Treasury to extend it for another month.

Elsewhere, Pizza Hut Restaurants will be offering 2for1 on mains Monday to Wednesday from September 7 - but only if you're signed up to their newsletter.

Mitchell & Butlers said it also plans to extend the half price deal at its Stonehouse Pizza branches next month.

All three chains will be running the deal under the same terms and conditions set by the government.

It will only be on offer to customers who eat out on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and the discount won't be applied to alcohol or takeaway orders.

Divisional director of the chains David Gallacher said the Chancellor's incentive has helped the restaurants "get back on their feet" after lockdown.

He said: "The Eat Out to Help Out scheme was really helpful for the industry and the unwavering support we’ve encountered from our loyal guests has been incredible to see.

"They’re clearly so pleased to get back to their favourite restaurants and enjoy a delicious meal out.
