Britons, Your Country Needs You to Eat Out. Attempting to revitalise the struggling hospitality sector after the coronavirus lockdown, the government today launches its Eat Out to Help Out scheme – giving all a £10-a-head discount in restaurants. More than 70,000 outlets have signed up to scheme which will run every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in August. As well as the major chains (think McDonalds, Nandos, Starbucks), Michelin-starred restaurants are also participating. Quite a different message from No 10 telling the public to lose weight last week. Bon Appetit.
