York Restaurant Week, organised by The York BID, aims to encourage people to eat out during a quieter time of year.

With the coronavirus crisis putting pressure on the hospitality sector, Restaurant Week is set to offer a boost to business.

BID business manager, Chris Bush, said: “We’re really pleased that despite the recent curfew, we are still able to go ahead with Restaurant Week, and the fantastic response we’ve had from venues proves the benefit they gain from taking part.”

Offers are online now, including details of all participating venues and fixed price menus. There is no limit to the number of offers people can access, and vouchers are completely free to download. To take advantage, visit www.yorkrestaurantweek.co.uk

Customers are advised to book ahead and comply with Government guidelines when visiting a hospitality venue.

At least one member of a party must provide contact details, or check in using the NHS QR code. Face coverings must be worn, except when eating and drinking.
