Diners can now find out which restaurants are taking part in the government’s Eat Out to Help scheme, which launches next week.
The government has launched a postcode tool to help diners find nearby eateries which are involved.
The initiative, which was announced earlier this month, will give people a discount of up to 50pc when eating or drinking soft drinks in a participating restaurant or other food establishment.
It will apply all day Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from August 3 to 31, in all parts of the UK not in a local lockdown.
The maximum discount available is £10 per person when you eat or drink in.
The government has launched a search tool to help you find the restaurants taking part within a five-mile radius of a given postcode.
The government hopes the scheme will encourage families to eat and drink out, boosting the hospitality sector during a challenging period.
When using a central Norwich postcode, some of the independent restaurants taking part include Benoli, on Orford Street, Frank’s Bar on Bedford Street and Erpingham House on Tombland.
Others include Gem of Norwich, on Riverside, and Benedicts on St Benedict’s Street in Norwich.

• Bannatyne Health Club
