RESIDENTS across Scotland will tomorrow be able to claim discounts at scores of restaurants and food establishments.
From August 3 to August 31, on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, restaurants participating in the UK Government's Eat Out to Help Out scheme will offer 50 per cent off food and non-alcoholic drinks up to a total value of £10 per person.
Alcoholic drinks and service charges are excluded from the offer.
The initiative, launched by Chancellor Rishi Sunak, is encouraging people to support the hospitality industry by getting back to having meals out as coronavirus lockdown measures are eased.
You don’t need a voucher to use the scheme and you can use it at the same time as other offers and discounts. There is no minimum spend.
Establishments will then claim a reimbursement from the UK Government for the discount they’ve given you.
Who is taking part in the scheme?
Among the big-name chains taking the part in the scheme are McDonald's, Nandos, Burger King, Costa Coffee, Frankie & Benny's, Harvester and KFC.
But countless numbers of local establishments are also taking full advantage.
The UK Government has created a portal where people can find out which restaurants are registered with Eat Out to Help Out.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
