Get up to £10 per person off food and soft drinks as High Peak businesses sign up to Eat Out to Help Out

The Government’s ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme offers up to a maximum of £10 per person, on food and soft drinks on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays until August 31.

High Peak Borough Council is encouraging people to support their local hospitality businesses.

Councillor Damien Greenhalgh, deputy leader and executive councillor for regeneration, tourism and leisure, said: “Being able to share a meal with family, or catch up with a friend over coffee, are pleasures that many of us have really missed during lockdown and that we can now begin to enjoy again as restrictions ease.

“We have some fantastic eating and drinking establishments across the High Peak and many of them have signed up to the scheme so we’re urging people to take advantage of the discount and support their local businesses.

“It runs throughout August and there’s no limit to the number of times people can give their taste buds a weekday treat. You don’t need a voucher and there’s no minimum spend – so there’s every reason to return to your favourite places and to discover some new favourites as well!”

Jo Dilley, managing director of Marketing Peak District & Derbyshire, said “The Eat Out to Help Out scheme presents the perfect opportunity to welcome customers back after a very challenging few months and we urge everyone to show their support for local pubs, restaurants, cafes and hotels by dining out and enjoying the fantastic food and drink offer.“Our businesses have worked exceptionally hard to reopen their sit-down services in line with government guidelines. The scheme is going to be pivotal in building customer confidence and helping the hospitality industry to successfully get back on its feet.”
