There are ways to eat well for less, with discount schemes and rewards to enrolling as a mystery diner
Many restaurants, usually high street chains, offer two-for-one deals and money off for holders of discount cards. The best known of these is Tastecard, which offers you 25% off the total bill, two-for-one deals and 50% off food deals, depending on the chain. However, there are conditions such as being limited to certain days of the week and having to ring ahead. Zizzi, for example, offers two-for-one deals from Sunday to Thursday, while Beefeater offers 25% off the total bill on the same days. The card costs £79.99 a year or £7.99 a month, although they are often given for free, packaged with some bank accounts, such as NatWest’s student one.
