My local pub and the local sushi restaurant are. That's me sorted for August

 

[Papas1982]

Both my golf clubs, plus Nandos where the missus already gets stuff at 40%.

Dont think I'll need to shop for a month....

Remember it is only Monday - Wednesday so don’t get too excited ?

KFC and McDonald's are on it round here

The last place that needs it lol

Nandos and harvestor aren't it seems which would have been the 2 I expected to want customers back

With this offer and McDonalds offering 50p cheeseburgers I predict a great start to this governments obesity initiative.

found out why nandos arent coming up.. even though nandos are tweeting out that they are part of the deal if you go onto their site only 10 sites are open to eat in

shame im going southampton for golf tuesday would have been a nice quick meal before heading back

Went for our first meal out a few days ago.

Pretty much just like pre-lockdown but with more spaces between tables.

I was expecting an alien experience but it really wasn’t.

In some ways the social distancing could have been much better.

Thanks. There's some pretty decent ones on the list in this area.

One could argue there is a bit of mixed messaging going on. Then again I suppose all they have is just a series of bad options to chose from. As getting the economy going will lead to an increase in cases.

It does appear the gov are being consistent all the way through this.

We have booked a very nice restaurant in Newcastle based on this scheme. The weird thing will be eating out midweek , we never do that.

I'd have thought Nandos want as many restaurants open as quick as possible, that's quite surprised me they only have 10 currently open.

Also just wondering am I the only person in UK that finds them hugely over priced for bang average food. Everyone i know raves about though.

Price wise I think it's the going rate these days , but the drinks are overpriced for sure

The 10 surprised me. My local ones are all delivery and collection only so they are open they just Wont let u come in

Maybe their making enough? Or because it's popular with the youth worried social distancing won't be respected

I've been quite impressed with them since the missus started just before lockdown.
They were quite quick to close to the public whilst cooking all remaining stock to supply quite a few free meals to the NHS.

From what I've been told. Since they introduced the delivery and takeaway options they've been getting pretty consistent figures and are more interested in doing whats best than squeezing the last few £££.

All staff now on flexi furlough. With quite a few happy to just get 80% it would seem, so they don't feel obliged to get all staff back as plenty don't want to be back yet.

Almost all the independents locally seem to be on the list with the exception of the indian/chinese restaurants
Looking forward to dining on the new balcony at the Noisy Lobster next week

They are known as “Scrawny Chicken Place” in my social circles.

There's a dozen or so of our regular local places on the list - including several of our favourites. Only thing is, we already go regularly enough, so I'm not sure we can go even more frequently? But if it encourages others ...

I've been told from my Landlord I can come in multiple times a day. No shame here!

It's not shame I worry about, it's capacity ... ?
