”Eat Out to Help Out’ aka “Dosh for Nosh”
As well as cutting the VAT rate to 5% for hospitality and tourism sectors from July 15 until January 12, 2021, Chancellor Rishi Sunak has said everyone in the country will get the discount in an effort to get customers back into restaurants, cafes and pubs.
There will be a ‘simple website’ for those participating businesses to register on Monday, 13th July.
Meals eaten at any participating business from Monday to Wednesday during August will be 50% cheaper, up to a maximum discount of £10 per head for everyone (Adults & Children).
- It covers any eat-in meal at any participating restaurant, cafe, pub or other eligible food service establishment across the UK during the month of August.
- It can be used for food and non-alcoholic drinks.
- It can be used “unlimited times”
This is only one scheme the Government have introduced to help improve the economy as part of their #PlanForJobs recovery plan. They are also offering to pay businesses to hire young apprentices, with a payment of £2,000 and introducing a brand-new bonus to hire apprentices aged 25 and over, with a payment of £1,500.

Dorset Food, Drink & Farming Awards 2020
Dorset Magazine have opened their nominations for this year’s Food, Drink & Farming Awards. There are 30 days remaining to vote.
Dorset Magazine’s Editor Helen Styles said “The Dorset Food, Drink and Farming Awards will celebrate the extraordinary men and women – farmers, chefs, bakers, butchers, tea shop owners to name but a few – who work so hard to put Dorset on the culinary map. Show your support for your local food, drink and farming heroes and nominate now!”
They are calling on their readers and businesses alike to nominate in these new-look awards, with new categories highlighting the current struggles and how businesses have adapted to the changes to the industry due to Covid-19.
The categories are:
- Best Independent Food & Drink Retailer
- Best Farm Shop
- Food Producer of the Year
- Drinks Producer of the Year
- Entrepreneur of the Year
- Community Food/Drink Initiative Award
- Business Collaboration Award
- Best Local Food/Drink Delivery Experience
- Best Dining Experience to go
- Chef of the Year
Understandably, they have had to adapt how they champion and highlight the region’s food and drink sector but they still want to celebrate the fantastic businesses on our doorstep serving us throughout Lockdown.
However, they have had to reassess their awards evening. For 2020, instead of their ceremony in September, they will be holding a winners’ celebration when it is safe to do so, post the announcement of their 2020 winners’ in the December issue of Dorset Magazine. They hope to come back bigger and better next year! As do we all!
