Ready for more discounts? Restaurants, pubs and cafes in Leamington, Warwick and Kenilworth start their own discount menus for September

The government's Eat Out to Help Out scheme has come to an end - but some pubs, cafes and restuarants in the Warwick district are now building on the success of the scheme by making their own discount offers in September.

If your business is offering a discount, email [email protected] and we will add it to the list.

The Famous Virgins and Castle in Kenilworth has started a half price menu offer.

General manager Andy Lock said: "The Eat Out to Help scheme was great for us. While we’re not a new pub, we are a new team and in effect a new business and so lots of first time guests were trying us out and the great news was they were coming back when the offer wasn’t on during the weekend.

"Now, we’re going to be open every day in the week from 9:00am starting with our freshly cooked breakfasts and serving food through to 10:00pm and open until 11:00pm. We’re going to continue with the Eat Out to Help scheme ourselves every Monday as well as make a day of our best selling dish - our burgers!

"Our Virgins & Castle burger and Virgins &Castle plant-based burgers have been so popular we’re going to create a special Burger Day every Monday through September and our burgers will be half price all day as well as the whole of our food menu and non-alcoholic drinks.

"We’ll have our signature burgers and then at least another four exciting burger creations, crafted by our chefs and full of delicious, locally sourced ingredients, just like a great burger should be”.

The Virgins & Castle Burger Day and the half price menu offer started on Bank Holiday Monday and is available every Monday through September. You can book your table on their website www.virginsandcastle.com or call the pub on 01926 853 737

The Fourpenny in Warwick is extending the offer by doing 25% off food on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays throughout September.

Elma in Leamington is doing its our own Eat Out to Help Out Scheme until Sept 30 - 50% discount, up to a maximum of £10 per person, to diners for food or non-alcoholic drinks to eat or drink in our restaurant. Available every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from Sept 1-30. Bookings essential, visit https://www.elmaleamington.com/.

The Newbold Comyn Arms in Leamington will continue to offer the Eat Out to Help Out discount every Tuesday and Wednesday in September.

Diners can continue to enjoy a 50 per cent discount, up to £10 per person, on food and non-alcoholic drinks at the pub when you order from its main menu.

Pub owner Sarah Miller said: “As an independent business, we’re really appreciative of the local community who have supported us, which is why we decided to extend the scheme.

“We are accredited as an AA Covid Confident restaurant, which means our safety measures are in line with the government guidelines.

“We’ve introduced outdoor table service, hand sanitising stations throughout the pub, social distancing signs and our staff have full PPE.

“To encourage social distancing and manage demand for tables, we’ve also switched to bookings only, even if it’s for a drink.”
