The government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme may have ended but some restaurants in the Harrogate district have announced they will still be offering their own versions of the initiative in November.
The Eat Out scheme offered discounted dining on Mondays to Wednesdays during August.
It proved so popular that months later, some restaurants are continuing to provide cut price deals.
La Feria, on Cold Bath Road, is offering a 50% discount on food up to £10 from Monday to Wednesday until the end of November.
With 25 staff, Jez Verity, the director, was keen to support his staff when the furlough scheme ended this month.
Thanks to the ongoing discount, the restaurant has had more than 100 people in every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Mr Verity said:
“It was a big, big success in August, I think all businesses in Harrogate had significantly benefited on those three days.
“We decided to carry it on in September and see what happened. The customers really embraced it, they knew what it was and it was easy to understand.
“It’s also a way for us to say a thank you to customers for supporting us, and really give something back to them.”
