No such thing as a free lunch? Oh yes there is!

Print off the pdf (second link in original post) and use that. I just did and had a lovely lunch :-)
Beware that the pdf voucher seems to have no restrictions as to what you can eat/drink, but the one that comes up in a pop up window from the website that it is valid with any two courses (doesn't say if that's per person or in total). On the plus side, the pop up one is valid until end-June.

Have just printed off the £15 voucher and have my table booked for tomorrow. There is a Chez Gerard right next to my office so this is perfect. Many thanks.

Hi everyone,

Is there any way of getting the pdf vouchers that give £15 off with the May/June dates on - I could only get it for April?

Cheers

Watch out for a misleading offer in Cafe Fish, Soho which you could not order with you £15-off voucher anyway, but which is bordering on being a scam.

They hook customers in with a £5.95 fish and chips deal advertised on a poster in the window. But when you order fish and chips, you are charged more than twice that amount because you did not say "special fish and chips" and they accidentally-on-purpose give you the menu fish and chips intead. This happened twice in 45 minutes while I was there: the first people were too mortified and meek to make a fuss, so I gave them one of my £15 off vouchers (it was the last day of the month and I had a spare). The second table were Japanese and their English was not great, and they let it go.

I was using my voucher, so I couldn't combine it with any special deals anyway, but I still complained about what I had seen. The cashier as good as told me that it was deliberate, that if people order fish and chips, they get menu fish and chips, unless they literally say something like "I want the £5.95 fish and chips that is advertised in the window, not the £13.95 fish and chips on the menu."

I have written to the Head Office very politely thanking them for their voucher scheme, but complaining about their disingenuous overcharging of people who are obviously ordering the special fish and chips.

That really annoys me..we went out to a mexican restaurant where the same thing happened. We only went in as there was a special lunchtime offer of any main course for £4.95 or two courses for £5.95, we ordered, ate it and then got a bill almost three times as big as expected. They said we should have specified we wanted the lunch offer , not the normal menu one, even though we only had the lunch menus in front of us. I was so cross, and it took 20 minutes of arguing to get a reduction.

This offer is now available again until the end of June.

Go to http://www.santeonline.co.uk/sante/offers/index.htm scroll down and click on the 'free £15 gift vouchers' link about halfway down. On the next page, enter your name and email but MAKE SURE YOUR POP UP BLOCKER IS DISABLED.

Then a voucher for £15 will pop up. It is now valid when purchasing 2 main courses from the a la carte or set menus. It also says you should present your voucher on arrival.

Sadly this is not as good as the original March and April vouchers on the PDF link I put in the original post as they had no minimum purchase conditions. However, £15 off isn't bad as these resturants are Q nice and you could probably wing it with two mains for less than a fiver.

Happy eating!

I've just done this for a friend and it says:-

'Valid with any 2 courses from the a la carte or Set Menu'

So one person could still go and have a starter/main or main/pudding.

I stand corrected. Any two courses - so it is potentially still a free lunch! A starter and main could be easily less than £15.

Remember, popup blockers will stop the voucher from appearing.

Argh! Went to the Bristol Bertorelli last night but it has shut down!

No mention of this on their website, it says it is still open so best to check before you go so you don't waste a journey like me
