Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The government’s new “Eat Out to Help Out” scheme launched on 3 August and gives diners the opportunity to enjoy 50 per cent off their meals at participating restaurants.
The scheme was created as a bid to encourage the public to support the hospitality industry by going out to eat at local restaurants.
It will run from every Monday to Wednesday throughout the month and will entitle diners to half off their meals up to the value of £10 a head.
Alcohol is not included in the deal.
In order to claim your discount, you simply have to visit one of the participating restaurants within the timeframe.
The scheme means that a family of five can go out for dinner and have a meal worth £100 for £50.
The restaurants will then claim back the rest of the money from the government.
While any business serving food can sign up to the ”Eat Out to Help Out” scheme, there are a number of chain restaurants that have already announced their participation.
