Pubs, cafes and restaurants will be serving half-price meals across August under the Government's Eat Out to Help Out scheme.
Launched by Chancellor Rishi Sunak as part of the country's coronavirus recovery plan it is hoped the scheme will help to boost the hospitality sector following the Covid-19 lockdown.
Customers will be able to enjoy 50% off eat-in meals which are bought at more than 70,000 participating outlets from Monday.
The offer, which is only available between Mondays and Wednesdays, will be capped at £10 per diner and does not apply to alcohol.
Vouchers are not required for those booking tables, with the participating eateries deducting 50% from the bill and charging the discount to the Treasury.
