The Eat Out to Help Out scheme has been the talk of the town this week.

Hitchin Nub News has been out and about this week as ever, talking to a large number of you who have already enjoyed the government backed scheme which allows diners 50 per cent off their meals.

Hitchin Nub News sampled the discounts on offer in Granello Lounge on Wednesday afternoon while writing a few pieces - and the feedback among customers we talked to about their experiences with the scheme in Hitchin so far was extremely positive.

The initiative runs every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in August and you can use it as many times as you like without the need for vouchers.

So, with Monday, August 10 the next time you can take advantage of the scheme, here's our updated list below of all Hitchin establishments that are taking part.

..........

You can use the Eat Out to Help Out scheme at a participating establishment in Hitchin:

- to get a 50% discount on food or non-alcoholic drinks

- to eat or drink in (up to a maximum of £10 discount per diner)

- every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in August

as many times as you like

You do not need a voucher to use this scheme and you can use it at the same time as other offers and discounts.

There is no minimum spend.

You cannot claim discount on alcoholic drinks or service charges.

The discount will be automatically available to you at participating establishments.

Establishments will then claim a reimbursement from the government for the discount they've given you.
