Who doesn’t love free food?
The Government’s ‘Eat out to help out’ scheme opens on Monday 3 August, with 100 eateries in Preston already signed up to offer discounts.
On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays in August, registered establishments will be able to offer 50% off food and non-alcoholic drinks, up to a value of £10 per person.
This means a group of four friends could save up to £40 from an £80 bill.
There is no minimum spend and you can eat out as many times as you like.
Alcoholic drinks are excluded from the offer.
