    I don't understand. The restaurants are struggling to attract custom, so they're making their offers less attractive in order to survive?:confused:

We pay for the meal with Tesco Tokens, which are supposed to only pay for food; drinks have to be paid for in cash. We've been a few times recently (including last evening) and been able to pay for drinks, too :T My friends have found the same thing :T Bargain!

    No, I think they are 'tightening their belts' because the deals are proving too popular so they want to capitalize on it!
