A new map shows every independent restaurant, café and pub taking part in the government’s Eat Out to Help Out money-off scheme.

The initiative will see diners enjoy 50pc (up to £10 per head) off their bills when they eat in at participating restaurants from Monday to Wednesday in August.

It was launched to provide a boost to the industry after a challenging few months, and its launch on saw people a rise in restaurant bookings across the county.

A new map, compiled using HMRC data, shows the restaurants taking part in Lancashire, the Lake District, Manchester and Merseyside, though some of the larger chains may not be included.

You can also use the government’s postcode checker to see where is involved near you and you can see the full list of chains involved here.
