Ever since the UK reopened for business, the government has been pushing people to go out and spend their money.
It wasn’t clear how much they wanted us to hit the high street however, until they offered a 50% discount on meals where you dine in. The offer is only valid on Mondays through to Wednesday’s, and this is likely because these are the slower days. The 50% discount is only valid up to £10 per person, and is only at participating places. So, you may be wondering where can I claim the offer?
Well, considering 32,000 businesses have signed up so far, it’s highly likely you’ve got at least one of your favourite spots signed up nearby.
You can check on the Eat out to help out government page found here. All you have to do is type in your postcode and the results will be brought to you.
On top of the huge discount you can get near the start of the week, the government also announced a cut in VAT in hospitality sectors – from 20% to 5%, meaning trips away and eating out will be cheaper than ever.
Announcing the changes the other week, Sunak said: “The best jobs programme we can do is to restart these sectors, and get our pubs, restaurants, cafes and B&Bs bustling again.
“I know people are cautious about going out, but we wouldn’t have listed the restrictions if we didn’t think we could do so safely. I’ve seen how in the last few weeks hard business are working to make their premises safe, and if we follow the guidance and respect what they ask us to do, we can all enjoy summer safely.
“In turn, we need to give these businesses the confidence to know that if they open up, invest in making their premises safe and protect jobs, demand will be there – and be there quickly.”
Over 32,000 restaurants have registered for Eat Out to Help Out. Registration closes end of August, tag your three favourites to encourage them to sign up too.
