You may have heard that the government have just launched the #eatouttohelpout scheme which awesome news for restaurants, cafes, pubs and farm shops!
But what do we know about it?
It helps these foody places but how?
As a consumer you head to the restaurant or place that has the offer Monday -Wednesday for the whole of August and get 50% off the bill , up to £10 per head , its not valid for booze unfortunately , but you can get mega discount on your food! And bonus if the restaurant also takes My VIP Card you can get your My VIP Card discount on top! Whoop!
There isn’t a limit on how many times you can visit which is amazing! its almost cheaper to eat out!
So what are the pitfalls?
There is always the worry that restaurants are not taking the proper cautions to protect their punters from Covid-19 , however I have been visiting lots of restaurants and they are all taking huge precautions , they are going above and beyond with table service, hand sanitisers , apps to order, Socially distanced tables and clear instructions upon entry to most places!
And the price is crazy! We have eaten out as a family of 4 3 times this week for around £11 a time!
The rule is though that you have to eat it in, Be patient , it may take a little longer to get your food than usual , because restaurants cant afford to increase staff yet, so be polite and don’t complain, remember this is a new experience for them as well as you.
Restaurants ,. cafes and pubs can register for the scheme up until 31st of August and in my opinion its a no brainer for them to do it as it will increase trade for the month of August when typically it isnt a great month for the hospitality industry, what is worrying is once its gone what is left?
