Eat Out to Help Out October offers

Judging by the waiting lists at some of the coolest restaurants in London for tables on a Monday-Wednesday in August, we think it’s safe to say that for the most part the government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme seems to have been a success. Seeing some of our favourite places packed out with people has lifted our spirits and seems to have had a positive impact on lots of business – both big and small – across the UK. In fact, some restaurants enjoyed the footfall in the first half of the week so much that they decided to keep up the Eat Out to Help Out offer into September and now October. As the government’s help officially ended at the end of August, Help Out to Eat Out in October will have to be supplemented by the restaurants themselves. From high-end restaurants to more casual joints, here are the places offering October Help Out to Eat Out offers.
