Read our privacy policy More than 100 million meals have been served up as part of the Eat Out To Help Out stimulus scheme, according to the Treasury. On its final day, Monday 31 August, OpenTable data suggested restaurant bookings were up by more than 200 per cent on the same day last year. “The scheme is just one part of our plan for jobs and we will continue to protect, support and create jobs to ensure we come back stronger as a nation.” Following the apparent success of Eat Out To Help Out, some restaurateurs fear for their businesses now it has ended. The Federation of Small Businesses has called for the scheme to be extended for areas under local lockdowns, while the head of pub chain Greene King said ministers should consider a similar plan for city centres, where footfall remains low.
