East Boldon pub Grey Horse extends Eat Out to Help Out scheme

The pub in Front Street is one of a number of Stonegate Pub Company pubs which will be continuing the Eat Out to Help Out in September.

Customers visiting the pub will all receive 50% off their bill from Monday to Wednesday.

This offer will be available on food, soft drinks, tea and coffee, with no cap. Unlike the Government campaign, which capped the discount at £10 per person, Stonegate will continue their limitless offer at 50% off the bill.

Stonegate has now opened the majority of its estate across the country, ensuring they all comply with the Government’s COVID-19 Secure guidelines, introducing measures to protect staff and customers and ensuring the smooth running of its operations.

Throughout the estate, Stonegate has implemented clear safe socialising measures, enhanced cleaning regimes, as well as providing customers with the opportunity to order food and drink via a range of apps.

Single use menus, contactless payments and hand sanitiser stations complement the revised layout of its pubs and bars. Customers are encouraged to continue to book with their local pub in order to secure a seat as capacity in venues has been reduced.

Sarah Miller, operations director of Stonegate Pub Company, said: “The Eat Out to Help Out scheme has been so successful, it has been a great incentive for our customers to come back. Monday to Wednesday are definitely the new Friday night at the moment.

“Re-opening our sites in July came with many challenges but also an abundance of opportunities. We have worked tirelessly over the past few months to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our teams and customers. We want to create memorable experiences in our venues, but understand the nervousness and trepidation among some of our customers.

"The feedback we have received has been incredible, with many saying that not only do they feel safe and reassured in their visit to us, but they have enjoyed the experience and atmosphere and are making repeat visits."

This offer will be automatically applied to customers’ bills on all food, soft and hot drink orders.
