RESTAURANT and pub bills will be slashed in half when you eat out as part of a new government scheme that aims to boost the struggling tourism industry and economy.

Brits who dine out Monday to Wednesday in August will only have to pay for 50 per cent of the tab, the Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced today.

The government's will cover the other half of the bill through the Eat Out to Help Out scheme, up to £10 per head to boost the hospitality industry.

The discount includes children's meals too although it won't cover any booze ordered to go with your food.

The incentive is part of a mini-Budget package to help the economy bounce back from the coronavirus lockdown.

A similar leisure scheme has never been tried in the UK before, with the Chancellor telling the Commons that the "moment is unique" and calls on policymakers to be "creative".

Mr Sunak added: "So, to get customers back into restaurants, cafes and pubs, and protect the 1.8 million people who work in them, I can announce today that, for the month of August, we will give everyone in the country an Eat Out to Help Out discount."
How will the scheme work?

The government will cover half of the cost of the meal out, up to £10 a head, including children.

The discount means that a meal out for two that costs £20 will be reduced to £10, but a £25 meal for two will be slashed to £15 because of the £10 cap per person.

It will save a family of four £40 on an £80 bill, excluding any alcohol.

Businesses will need to register with the scheme before being able to offer the discount and then claim back the cash.

The refund will then been transferred into restaurants, cafes and pubs' bank accounts within five working days.

Customers will only receive the discount if they eat out at a registered business.
Where will you get the discount?

Any hospitality business that serves meals can sign up to the scheme, including high street chains and independently run eateries.

Hungry diners will only get money off the bill if they eat out on the quietest days of the week throughout August - Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

The Eat Out to Help Out scheme won't apply on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturday or Sundays.

The discount will only apply to meals eaten out, so you'll still have to pay full price for your takeaway if you order if from a restaurant.

And remember you will have to pay the full whack if you eat at a restaurant or pub that hasn't registered with the scheme.
