People are being encouraged to dine out as a number of restaurants, cafés and pubs are participating in the Government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme this month.

Our map shows eateries in North Somerset and Somerset taking part in the government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme. The purple pins offer more detailed information with links to websites, opening times and contact details.

The initiative will allow people to benefit from 50 per cent off the price of their meals, up to the value of £10 a head, when dining out from Monday to Wednesday in August.

The scheme aims to boost the hospitality industry following months of lockdown, and a number of establishments have signed up in a bid to boost numbers coming through the doors
