Starbucks are doing it - https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www....292588/starbucks-eat-out-help-out-prices/amp/I'm hoping Starbucks are part of it. If you eat in they put the food item on a plate. I live off their food items for breakfast/lunch when I'm working away and it's on expenses but I'm still on furlough and too mean with myself to spend my own money on them full price
Yes, as far as internet says - I’ve attached a link x
has been a little annoying when I just want to grab my usual Starbucks and the queue is literally out of the door and winding down the road, but I just don’t bother when it’s like that
Hard Rock Cafe in Picadilly is shit. Been there a few time and each time is such a letdown.
Yay, thank you!
Mon/Tues/Weds is the new weekend 
The final day will be the kicker - bank holiday. It's just driven people crazy and the impact on the staff - both for the added stress, lack of time with their families, arranging days off etc is immense. A journalist really needs to write about it from that side.Yeah I dont know the ins and outs like but I imagine he probably had a bit to drink too. But having that to do with in a busy as it is pub, must be hardThe weather has been nice and its the summer holidays so I imagine everywhere probably would have been quite busy anyway
I wasn’t intending to use the scheme as didn’t want to queue anywhere or be anywhere busy so doubt il bother for the rest of the month.
We've picked 2 small businesses we love so far and have booked in for Wednesday this week and Tuesday next week. So sad our Nandos isnt doing it as we're all big fans.
They are doing it themselves and reducing the prices
No McDonalds near us have been doing it for drive thru. Strictly eat in only and food is bought to your tables like any restaurant with table assigned. Interesting seeing how different businesses are operating! Personally I'm disappointed in all the hassle of getting a table and the awful queues and traffic everywhere Mon-Weds!Ah apologies. Well, McDonalds are doing it for drive through a I hear (personally I can't stand the place), so that's no different surely?
ETA - I stand corrected. They're likely to be required to refund the government (and/or fraud)...!!
Eligibility for ‘on-premises’ consumption
What counts as ‘on premises’
For the purposes of this scheme, the term ‘on premises’ means any area set aside for the consumption of food or non-alcoholic drink by that establishment’s customers, whether or not that area may also be used by the customers of other establishments.

My husband is a chef and he's said the same. It's also screwed with their days off as usually they fall Monday - Thursday as Friday - Sunday are obviously the busiest days.
I’m guessing because if you do drive through you’ll pick up food and go home. If you go and eat in you may be in town/ the high street etc and more likely to pop into shops etc too. So helping the high street as well and slowly getting people going back into places rather than eating at home
I’ve eaten in at McDonald’s, they just aren’t advertising it. You are sited at your table and preferably order via an app on your phone or using the touch screens, then your food is brought over. You leave you trays and they collect themYES. We all had a family meeting today discussing what restuarants we're going too. We used to go out every week before lockdown for weekly Sunday roasts but will move it to Mon-Weds this month
Also, how does mcdonalds work? They say they arent doing indoor seating so essentially you have to sit outside to eat but what happens if they have two tables which are taken? Do we really have to wait or can we still get it?
I'll just have to ask for a eat-in order then send my brother in to ask for a bag
Then you’d have no customers
No, no, no, being drunk is no excuse. They deserve to be punished.Yeah I dont know the ins and outs like but I imagine he probably had a bit to drink too. But having that to do with in a busy as it is pub, must be hard
Our 3rd meal out on it.
