Has anyone taken advantage of the Government's Eat out to help out scheme?
 

whereby you get 50% off your meal and soft drinks. Offer available Monday to Wednesday in August.

I have been to Kaspa's for half price and also to our local carvery The Royal Oak pub. Its a great discount and well worth it. X

Once or twice, but I’m not going to be able to take advantage of the rest of it x

Quite a few times really, i haven't been places like Nandos though because there's always a big queue to get inside.

are you going gallivanting to America again hunni? X

No

I wish America was open :joker: Nope I’m in Paris, which means I’m isolating for two weeks on my return :p

oh yes. Silly me. Have a great time. X

Only used it twice so far, once on a midweek pub lunch getting a massive meal for £6 and once on a crap fried chicken place where I still felt ripped off only paying £4

Think I will use it again this week for a pub lunch though

yes Matt. Make the most of it while its still available. Enjoy. X

Going McDonald’s tomorrow to make the most of it :pipe:

Daughter and her fella had fish and chips etc in a Whitby eateries through the week.
We are still supporting our local takeaways while they are home.😊

It doesn't apply to drive-thru so no :hmph:. I probably would have if it was available on Friday/Saturday, but can't really be taking the fam out for dinner on a week night now that the kids are back at school.

I did at our local pub. It's a good deal plus it was empty.

Only McDonald’s and Bar Burrito so far, Nando’s is always like a 2/3 hour wait.

Daniel...I don't know what part of Wigan you are from but we go to a great pub at Bolton. X

No we’re in the middle of a pandemic. Eating out isn’t essential when you have food at home away from other people

No one said it was essential. :shrug: It is enjoyable and you wear a mask except when you're actually eating/drinking. It supports the economy.

Yes, but I only go to restaurants that have tables outside.
I love eating alfresco :laugh:

Yeah me and my lad went to maccy ds, some brat started sqwaking so we ate one nug grabbed our order and chipped lol!

No not yet, went out last Thurs with 2 friends and had lunch in a pub garden, it was nice and quiet and the sun was out ..lovely

No, I do think it's a fairly good idea if things were safer.
I don't feel it is really safe so although I love eating out.
I haven't since February and can't see me taking even the slightest risk at this time.
Likely not this year now for certain.
Again too, I'd rarely eat out in the earlier days of the week anyway.

Preferring Friday or Weekends myself.

How do I know for instance all is really that safe in the kitchens too.
So no.

For those who have however, I'm pleased you have had some chance to, just please keep safe.

The name of the scheme will never not be stupid, it’s ****ing ridiculous :joker:

oh you smutty, never associated it with smut until now :laugh:

I'm definitely going tomorrow. Taking advantage now, the offer is only for this month.
