These restaurants are extending their 'Eat Out to Help Out' deals through September

'Eat Out to Help Out', initially started as a way to boost the hospitality industry back into full swing after months of lockdown. The deal provided punters with 50% discounts on their meals on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout August.

But, while many restaurants claimed that the deals made turned their customers in to angry, demanding little demons, many have decided to carry on the deal throughout September.

Out of the 84,000 restaurants that participated, 64 million discounted meals were received in just the first three weeks alone. Chancellor Rishi Sunak stated:

This scheme has reminded us how much we love to dine out, and in doing so, how this is helping to protect the jobs of nearly 2 million people who work in hospitality. I am urging everyone, where they can, to continue to safely enjoy a meal while the scheme remains open.

The deal was said to be only for August meaning the last day of the scheme for many restaurants will be Monday the 31st. But, because 'Eat Out to Help Out' has caused such mass amounts of people to flock to their local eateries many placed have decided to extend the deals and fund it themselves.
