We’ve eaten out twice since our local pubs/restaurants opened, but not on the right days for a discount. smile We’re booked in for one under the scheme on Wednesday.

Our experience has been good, and proper safeguards were in place at both the pub and the cafe we went to. It feels good to be choosing food from a menu again.

Yes, I used it to have afternoon tea with friends at a countryside venue. Social distancing and extra measures were all in place and felt very safe and comfortable. No vouchers needed just £10 deducted from the bill for every person Seamless and enjoyable and hopefully helping the venue. A lovely afternoon and extremely good value.

I'm going to the Kitty Cafe with a friend on Wednesday.

I'll probably go somewhere with my son and his 2 children on Tuesday.

I had lunch with my daughter, GD and her baby for her birthday at a local pub/restaurant it worked well although there were only 2 other parties there.

My daughter on holiday has used this on all of the 3 days available.
We need to get people back in the habit of eating out to help the economy.

Has anyone participated in this scheme yet? Seems to be a success so far, from what I've read.

Tomorrow I'm meeting a friend for lunch at Westfield, Shepherds Bush, to give it a go - all hands to the pump! ?
