Save up to £10 per person, when eating out at independent restaurants, cafés and pubs in the Cotswolds.

Participating restaurants, pubs and cafés in the Cotswolds will be offering the chance for diners to save 50 per cent on food and non-alcoholic drinks, thanks to the government’s new Eat Out to Help Out scheme.

Between Mondays and Wednesdays, from Monday 3 August 2020 to Monday 31 August 2020, plenty of venues across Cotswold towns and villages, including Cirencester, Tetbury, Chipping Camden and Stow-on-the-Wold will be offering the discount – with savings of up to £10 per person.
