It’s time to Eat Out to Help Out!
For those who haven’t been paying attention or haven’t seen the news, the new ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme was announced a few weeks back which is a new initiative to help food businesses and the local economy.
I mean, I won’t say no to discounts! Here’s a breakdown of when is starts:
From the 3rd – 31st August, you can get a 50% discount when you eat at restaurants that are registered to the ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as many times as you like.
Those establishments that are taking part then claim a reimbursement from the government for the discount they have given – only expectations are for alcoholic drinks or service charges.
However, SOME places in Northamptonshire have planned to extend this offering or alter it slightly in September too! So I have updated this guide to let you know which places plan to continue. Yay!
I’ve tried my best to include places from across Northamptonshire, but if you know of any others taking part in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme, let me know!
Ten Hands Cafe Bar
Ten Hands Cafe Bar will be offering breakfast, brunch and lunch during the month of August from Monday to Wednesday where you can get up to £10 off your bill on drinks and food eaten on the premises (does not include alcohol).
It’s a great place to head for a coffee, a slice of Katie’s Cakes and some good brunch! You know it’s my regular and I love it, so I’ll certainly be heading down to take advantage!
They are also re-introducing the full menu on Monday’s and Tuesday’s too after running a limited menu.
