BARGAIN hunting diners have been pushing the Eat Out to Help Out discount to the max and saving hundreds of pounds by paying for courses separately - in the same restaurant.that hungry diners had asked to split the bill between courses to save, although most told the paper they'd declined to do so.
Businesses will need to register with the scheme on Gov.uk before being able to offer the discount, as well as be Food Standards Agency approved.- which the government felt increased the risk of fraud - restaurants, cafes and pubs will be able to claim back the cash. Of course, to save this maximum figure that would mean they'd have to order a starter, main, and dessert each costing at least £20.

You should then minus the answer from the total cost of the items that the discount can be applied to.
