Simply collect the tokens and vouchers from the newspaper over the next few weeks and you could be eating out for £5 until the end of April. You can pick up your first token and voucher in The Times newspaper today.

There are more than 1,000 restaurants taking part in the promotion click here for details for all of them, listed by area. All you need to do is choose the restaurant you want to visit, call to reserve a table - quoting ‘The Times’ - and take along your voucher and three tokens. All the restaurants are offering a two-course lunch for just £5. Some are also offering a special dinner menu for either £5 or £10, check individual restaurant listings for full details.

Yes it was posted here earlier this week, but it's an excellent offer which I've been taking advantage of for many years

Definitely worth mentioning!

I have never taken part in this promotion could you clarify a few things for me.
Do I need to buy alot of papers today with a form that I need to stick the following tokens on(eg the numbers of papers that correspondes with the number of meals I would like to go for)?
Can you use only one of the on line vouchers per meal?

Links are not working for me either (including free voucher link) but it does say comming soon ans the article is dated Sunday 16th Jan so the links will probably work from Sunday which is when the release the list in the Sunday times.

You need to collect 3 tokens per visit, one of which can be the online one. However from our experience the restaurants never kept the tokens (and usually didn't even look at them) so you could probably get away with only buying two copies of the Times.

Plus there's 2 free cinema tickets in today's Times as well (I haven't bought a copy yet otherwise I'd post the details!)

Edit: Just bought the Times. The free film tickets are on page 14 of the Eye section, and you actually have to buy the paper to get them rather than just phone up. Also they seem to have dropped all their restaurants in Oxford from the offer. They've added lots around Oxfordshire but that's a bit useless as I don't drive. Looks like I won't be having as many nice meals out this Jan as I did last year!
