Throughout August people across the UK will be able to bag themselves a half-price meal in a restaurant thanks to the new Eat Out to Help Out deal announced by Chancellor Rishi Sunak.
Anyone eating in a registered restaurant or cafe on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday throughout August will get 50 per cent off their meal - up to £10 per head.
You don't need to get hold of vouchers or make a claim - the registered venue will instantly make the discount for you and claim the cash back from the Government.
The offer does not include alcohol or takeaways, reports The Mirror, but it will cover food served in pubs, cafes, canteens and other venues.
The following major chains have already registered to take part:
- All Bar One - It won't work on alcohol, but if you're grabbing food or a soft drink you can get 50% off up to £10 a person, after the chain's owner said it would be taking part
