THE new Eat Out to Help Out scheme launched today – meaning Brits can bag half price meals at participating pubs, restaurants and cafes in August.

The government will pay for half the bill, up to £10 per head, for your meal and any soft drinks on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout the month.

Burger King was the first brand to say that it would sign up to the scheme

The new incentive aims to get Brits back out to boost the economy and save jobs in the hospitality sector, which has suffered massively due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It’s part of a wider £30billion package to help the country’s finances recover after three months of lockdown as businesses navigate new Covid-19 challenges.

Before offering the discount, eateries must register with the scheme, which is open to all businesses that have a dine-in area.

This includes big high street chains as well as independent food outlets, which are also benefiting from a 15 per cent VAT cut.

The discount can also be used on top of other promotions so it will knock some serious cash off the bill this summer.

By midnight on July 26, a whopping 53,058 restaurants had signed up to the scheme, according to HMRC.

Below are the major food and pub chains that have so far said they will be signing up or have already registered to the scheme.
