Eat Out to Help Out is due to finish this bank holiday weekend, meaning Brits have limited time to take advantage of the half price food offer.
The government is paying for 50% of your food and non-alcoholic drinks, up to £10 a head, on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays until August 31.
8
This means August's bank holiday Monday is the last day you can officially use the scheme.
Punters and the Federation of Small Businesses alike have called on the government for an extension but it's so far said no, although some restaurants will run their own similar versions of the scheme next month.
The Eat Out to Help Out incentive aims to get Brits back out and spending to help boost the economy and save jobs in the hospitality sector.
It's part of a wider £30billion package to help the country's finances recover as businesses navigate new Covid-19 challenges.
Before offering Eat Out to Help Out discounts, eateries must register with the scheme.
This includes big high street chains as well as independent food outlets, which are also benefiting from a VAT cut from 20% to 5%.
Businesses don't have to sign up though - so make sure you check first before booking a table.
How does the Eat Out to Help Out scheme work?
THE government will cover half of the cost of a meal out, up to £10 a head, including children's meals.
The discount means that a meal out for one that costs £20 will be reduced to £10, but a £25 meal for one will be slashed to £15 because of the £10 cap per person.
There is no limit to the number of times you can use the discount, so in theory you can get half price meals on every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in August.
Businesses will need to register with the scheme on Gov.uk before being able to offer the discount, as well as be Food Standards Agency approved.
Instead of issuing discount vouchers - which the government felt increased the risk of fraud - restaurants, cafes and pubs will be able to claim back the cash.
The refund will then been transferred into restaurants, cafes and pubs' bank accounts within five working days.
The discount can also be used on top of other promotions so it will knock some serious cash off bills this summer.
But note that it's only available when you're eating in - you can't use the offer on takeaway orders.
Below are the major food and pub chains that have registered to the scheme or promised they will take part.
A whopping 84,000 restaurants have signed up to the incentive, according to the Treasury.
