A NEW map has been created which shows places in Colchester signed up to the Eat Out To Help Out scheme.

Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday between August 3 and 31, participating restaurants will offer 50 per cent off food and non-alcoholic drinks up to a total value of £10 per person.

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.

Alcoholic drinks and service charges are excluded from the offer.

The Government hopes the initiative will encourage people to dine out more, in turn pumping money back into businesses and the high street - and it seems to be working so far.

Many restaurateurs up and down the country reported how their business was the busiest it had been all year as a result, with countless people taking advantage of the offer.
