Eat Out to Help Out scheme – restaurants extending to September

Whether you missed out on August’s Eat Out to Help Out 50% discount or simply didn’t have enough days to try all the restaurants taking part, there’s still time to take advantage of a cut-price meal thanks to several restaurants extending the scheme for September. Here’s a list of our favourites.

EAT OUT TO HELP OUT – SEPTEMBER EXTENSION

BRITISH

Award-winning Heliot Steak House is offering guests 50% off food and soft drinks (up to £10 pp) every Sunday-Wednesday until 30th September. Voted Best Steak Restaurant by Londoners, diners who Eat Out to Help Out will be able to enjoy 200g of fillet or sirloin steak for just £15 (usually £25).

Muse – the intimate 25-seat fine dining restaurant from two-Michelin starred chef Tom Aikens (also a BBC Great British Menu judge) – is offering £10 off its tasting menus on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during September.

Boasting show-stopping views across the City, Sky Garden’s two restaurants – Darwin Brasserie on level 36 and Fenchurch Restaurant on level 37 – are extending EOTHO throughout September so that diners can take advantage of £10 off per person on select days. Enjoy deliciously different British brasserie food from a new summer menu as you soak up the idyllic garden surroundings and stunning vistas across the Thames.

Nothing quite beats classic fish and chips – and The Mayfair Chippy is one of London’s best places to get it. The ‘Mayfair Classic’ of fried cod or haddock, chips, mushy peas, tartar and chip shop curry sauce or HP gravy comes in at just over £8 with the EOTHO discount – and there’s even a jackfruit and tofu option for vegans.

FUSION

Zuaya is an exciting culinary journey of Latin American with a twist of Mediterranean recipes. The restaurant in Kensington will be extending ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ offer throughout September where all their guests can enjoy a 50% discount, up to £10 per person, every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday on all food and non-alcoholic drinks (eat-in only).

FRENCH

La Poule au Pot has been a Belgravia institution for as long as anyone cares to remember: its alluring interior, with its intimate nooks and festoons of dried flowers and bric-à-brac, offers an authentic re-creation of “paysan” France. Alongside the atmospheric ambience, the menu is classic French too: excellent ingredients, generous portions and fine cooking, presented with exuberant panache. This September, diners can enjoy 50% off up to £10 per person Mon-Weds.

Relaxed and stylish bistro and cocktail bar NAC is also offering diners up to £10 off its French sharing plates and exquisite desserts during September.

ITALIAN

A fine-dining destination in Marylebone, Xier is a must-visit for any foodie. The first solo-venture from Italian chef Carlo Scotto, Xier offers an innovative six and ten-course tasting menu in the evenings, as well as a three and four-course menu for lunch. For September, Xier is offering diners 15% off their total bill, including drinks, from Wednesday to Saturday.

Norma, chef Ben Tish’s celebrated Sicilian restaurant on Charlotte Street famed for its sharing platters of Moorish-influenced island dishes, is offering a £10 pasta dish at lunchtimes Mon-Weds.

Nothing beats a proper wood-fired pizza – and whilst Pizza Pilgrims’ DIY kits kept us going through lockdown, we couldn’t be happier that their restaurants have reopened. Head to their Victoria outpost to get another slice of the EOTHO scheme with 50% off up to £10 from Monday to Wednesday.

Emilia’s Crafted Pasta is extending EOTHO scheme at their Aldgate and St. Katharine Docks sites (50% off PASTA only, Mon – Tuesday).

EUROPEAN

Its vendors, which range from bao buns to micro brewers, homemade pasta makers to poké bowls and sushi masters, are offering diners 50% off up to £10 – the perfect excuse to try multiple vendors.

ASIAN

Not your typical Chinese restaurant, diners at Hunan are expected to tell the chefs what they don’t eat and how spicy they like their food, then allow themselves to be surprised, with small tapas-size portions of food shared among the table. Under the scheme, from Monday to Wednesday this unique dinner experience costs from £64.80 per person.

With a wide-ranging menu that includes sushi and sashimi as well as robata grill dishes, ROKA is offering 50% off from Monday to Wednesday up to £10 per diner – think dishes like sake to avocado maki with raw salmon, avocado and asparagus with wasabi tobiko and tenkasu reduced from £9.75 to just £4.88.
