Try the Eat Out to Help Out restaurant scheme in September too
The government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme launched in August to encourage diners back into restaurants – and now some restaurants are extending the offer into September.
The August offer
From 3 to 31 August, diners benefitted from a 50 per cent discount – up to £10 per diner – at participating venues every Monday to Wednesday.
The discount was valid on food and non-alcoholic drinks consumed indoors at restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs or food halls. It was not valid on takeaways.
You didn’t need a voucher, there was no minimum spend and you could eat out as often as you like.
September offers
The scheme was such a success, many restaurants have decided to extend the offer throughout September – at their own cost.
However, the discount rules – such as the days it is available – now vary between venues.
While not exhaustive, here are some of the restaurants that are offering discounts in London throughout September.
Call ahead or check their websites to find out more and book a table.
