Steve How Hard? Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Anyone else taking advantage of this government offer? I thought since we'll ultimately end up paying then it would be stupid to not join the party so I booked me and the missus in somewhere on Tuesday. Thought I'd get some brownie points by doing so without checking with her first. All I got was "Why Tuesday?" "Well darling you watch Emmerdale and Corrie on Mon and Weds." was my reply. We can't win I tell thee. Try and do something remotely nice and all I get is terse questioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 My lad is 19 and very cautious so we will peer through KFC's windows around 3 on Tuesday to see if it is quiet enough for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dine out on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday in August at participating restaurants then you get 50% of bill paid for, up to a maximum of £10 per person. This only includes the food though and not any alcohol consumed. Basically, you can eat £40 worth of food per couple and it will only cost you £20. That's how I understand it. Happy to be corrected if that's not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to be corrected if that's not the case. Yes and non alcoholic drinks are included too so if they are part of your £40 bill for two, you still get it for £20.

Anag Ram Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Does seem a bit strange that if I go into a sandwich shop, masked up as per the law, then take away two sandwiches and a coke, that's a tenner. If I had chosen to walk in with no mask, eat in, chat, use the toilet and leave, the same order would have cost a fiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I'm not giving Wetherspoons my money after what they did to their staff. Supporting my local restaurants/pubs, they need the money more than the big chains. I went in the Brunswick the other week and the staff were excellent.

Steve How Hard? Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Just taken advantage of this very kind offer. It's having the desired affect if the restaurant we went in is anything to go by. It was very busy for a Tuesday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
