Today, our new Eat Out to Help Out scheme launches across the UK – giving people up to 50 per cent off meals out, safely encouraging them back into restaurants, cafes and pubs.
• The hospitality industry is a vital ingredient to our economy, it has been hit hard by coronavirus – we want people to enjoy their summer safely and show support for their favourite places and the jobs those businesses provide.
• From today, anyone who eats at a participating business, Monday to Wednesday this month, can receive up to 50 per cent off food and non-alcoholic drinks, up to a value of £10 per person. Businesses can then claim the money back from the government weekly, receiving funds within 5 working days.
• Through this unprecedented scheme we can all help to protect the 1.8 million jobs in the hospitality industry. By safely supporting our local restaurants, cafes and pubs we can all do our part to help safeguard this vital industry and the millions of livelihoods it provides.
