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

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

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

Restaurants pull out of Eat Out to Help Out scheme over rude and ‘hostile’ customers...



Several restaurants have pulled out of the government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme because of “unwelcome behaviour” from some diners.

The initiative, which was introduced at the start of August, sees restaurants take 50% off the bill, which is then claimed back from the government.

Some 85,000 restaurants signed up, but now several owners have spoken out about levels of “hostility” towards staff since the scheme started.

Kelly Hill, who runs the Tavern Inn in Newquay, told the BBC she had pulled out of the scheme because the demand has brought them “nothing but negativity”.

She said: "People are ordering big, big meals; they are not willing to wait for their food; our staff are being shouted at for having no tables, or for the service being slow. It's put an awful lot of strain on our waiting staff and kitchen staff.”

Waitress Claudia Casey, 22, described a recent experience during the campaign as the “worst night of my eight years in the hospitality industry.

It doesn't apply to drive-thru so no . 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.

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. It is enjoyable and you wear a mask except when you're actually eating/drinking. It supports the economy.

I love eating alfresco
