THERE has been a big take-up by restaurants and cafés for the Government's new 'Eat Out to Help Out' scheme.

Scores of places in Ellesmere Port have signed up to the initiative, which will see menu prices slashed throughout August as part of a big Government push to stimulate the economy due to the devastating effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday across August, businesses who have also signed up to the scheme will offer half price food and drink, up to a total value of £10 per person, with the Government reimbursing businesses.

It runs between August 3 and August 31 and won't require anyone to have a voucher. Diners will also be able to use other offers and discounts too.

As well as chain restaurants, many independent eateries have signed up to the scheme.

The Government has listed all those taking part in the scheme with fewer than 26 branches on its website.
