Participating businesses will receive stickers and posters to make them easy to spot, and diners who eat in will benefit from a 50 per cent discount up to £10 per person on food and non-alcoholic drinks from Monday to Wednesday throughout August. No vouchers are required and customers can take advantage of the offer as many times as they wish.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak said: “Our restaurants, cafes and bars play a vital role in our economy, employing more than a million people. They have been hit hard by coronavirus, so it’s vital we do everything we can to help them recover.
