Government to offer 50% off discounts on eating out in August - MSE News

Anybody know if Slug and lettuce are partaking. Interested as they have already 50% off food on Mondays, so potentially paying 25% of full price on that day.

Hungry Horse chain are taking part and they have deals on Steaks Mondays, big plate specials on Tuesday which will also benefir from 50% off.

Kingsway Farm if no one has mentioned are making the 50% unlimited and not just £10.  They also include all soft/hot drinks and low alcohol substitutes.   Anyone that knows their cakes needs to get on this deal.

Seems like Harvester doesn't have any Early Bird or discount menus for August

So if you are used to 33% off.... probably better off going elsewhere in August Mon-Wed and getting 50% off where you wouldn't normally... 

As it's not such a good deal 

Shame

I did sign up for a one off 25% off

But not sure they will honor it with the government scheme, as they aren't providing the discount [for government scheme, does that mean it's not classified as 'another offer'/discount]?

Quick, book your wedding (or sadly funeral wake) at a participating restaurant Mon, Tues. Wed, let the government pick up, up to £10 of the tab, per person.

Well, if you book the whole restaurant for the maximum number of tables that they can deal with undersocial distancing rules, it just might work!!!

So. Two households then.

How does it work with the likes of Pret a Manger? £20 would be a lot for one person to spend there. I suppose you could go for dinner, buy £20 worth of food to eat in, start eating, find you can't finish it, then take the rest home for lunch the next day? Is that allowed?
Or go for breakfast, and get some sandwiches for lunch too. Although I think the sandwich selections might be a bit limited at breakfast time.

Buy a sandwich at half price. Leave. Go back and buy another sandwich at half price. Leave. Repeat ad nauseum, there is no limit to the number of times you can use the offer at any premise in one day.

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought you had to spend £20 to get £10 off. It's easy then.
