Diners  get 50 % discount as “eat out help out” kicks in today

The offer of Diners getting 50 per cent off as “eat out to help out” scheme begins today morning and is valid at more than 72, 000 eateries on Mondays to Wednesdays throughout August 2020.

The discount capped at £10 per person and does not apply to alcohol.

But critics said unhealthy food should have been excluded from the scheme, over fears it could fuel obesity.

The scheme is designed to encourage people to visit restaurants, cafes, and pubs which have been badly hit by the lockdown.

Around 80 per cent of hospitality firms stopped trading in April with 1.4 million workers furloughed the highest in any sector according to government data.

Major chains including Pizza Express, Costa Coffee, McDonald’s, and Nando’s are among the 72, 000 to have signed up. Chancellor Rishi Sunak said “ Our eat out to help out scheme’s number one aim is to help protect the jobs of 1.8 million chefs, waiters, and restauranteurs by boosting demand and getting customers through the door. The Industry is a vital ingredient to our economy and it’s been hit hard by a coronavirus, so enjoy summer safely by showing your favourite places your support-we’ll pay half.”

No vouchers are required to use the offer, with the participating establishment deducting 50 per cent from the bill and charging the discount to the Treasury. There is no minimum spend and you can use the discount as often as you like on eligible days. However, it does not apply to takeaways.

“Eat out to help out” website had already 3.3 million hits already since it opened last week.
