  • Walkabout - Free DAILY Burger worth £4.95 - Register n' print!

    UPDATE 09.51am, 26 NOV: This offer went in the free weekly email, and is currently causing Walkabout's website to crash! If it doesn't work now, try again in a bit.

    Register to receive the Australian pub/bar chain Walkabout’s newsletter and once you've activated your confirmation email you'll get a link to print out a voucher for a completely free Classic burger worth £4.95, valid for the next seven days! Make sure you're hooked up to a working printer before you click the link though, as you can only open it once.

    Walkabout has expressly told us there’s nothing stopping you from using more than one voucher provided you register each time with a different valid email address. So try your work and home email, or sign up for a new one from yahoo, hotmail or gmail.

    The offer ends on 14 December, yet in the meantime you can go back once a day and totally legitimately print a new voucher.  However, there's a chance it’ll end earlier as there are 'only' a million burgers to give away. To find your nearest Walkabout use this link: Walkabout venues.

    And a final note, while a free burger every day’s good for your wealth, it ain’t for your health.

Splitter bar

As well as food vouchers, there’s a raft of permanent ways to save money on meals out. These methods are especially handy if you wine to dine on Friday or Saturday nights, which some vouchers exclude.

Book online

Dedicated dining websites allow you to browse restaurant offers and book online. Here you simply search for a table, book and print out the email or voucher. There are three top ones:

  • Toptable.co.uk Online restaurant booking service Toptable features everything from local pizza joints to Michelin Star restaurants. For the best deals, click the 50% off button on the left-hand side. Some of the other offers are less hot, ie, free glass of wine when you spend £30.
  • Lastminute.com. Lastminute.com has offers throughout the UK and commonly offers 50% off food or 2for1 main courses. Again, some offers are better than others.
  • 5pm.co.uk. The discounts are smaller, but 5pm.co.uk is worth a look. Deals are mostly set menus and 20% off.

Get bargain meals with Tesco Clubcard

Use your Tesco Clubcard points on meals out at restaurants, and you effectively get them for a quarter of the normal price. This is because 100 Clubcard points are only worth £1 if you use them in-store. Yet spend the points on goodies from its Deals Brochure and you get four times the vouchers' face value, eg, £5 worth of Clubcard vouchers are worth £20 in Bella Italia vouchers.

Restaurants include Café Rouge, Planet Hollywood and Chez Gerard; see a full list. For more tricks to maximise Clubcard points, read the Loyalty Schemes guide.

Taste London card

A Taste London card entitles you to 50% off at 500 restaurants around the South East, including Thai Square, Spaghetti House and The Real Greek. At £70, 12 months membership ain’t cheap, but can be worth it over the year, especially if you often take out large groups.

Restaurants can get mardy if you suddenly produce the card at the end of the meal, so always book ahead, mentioning the offer, then show the card before ordering. Taste London often offers free month’s cards; these are always included in the free weekly email.

Bring your own booze


If you like a bottle of plonk with your dinner, BYOB (bring your own bottle) places are a great way to save. Restaurants rake in profits by charging inflated prices for booze, eg, bottle of Louis Jadot Bourgogne Chardonnay is typically £16 on a wine list. Yet pick up the same bottle at Tesco, before you hit the restaurant and it costs just £7.

For a list of BYOB restaurants across the UK, see Wine-pages.com. Some charge corkage of £1-ish, though many don’t.

Michelin stars on the cheap

If there’s a fancy Michelin joint you’ve always wanted to try, your foie gras and lobster ravioli will be vastly cheaper at lunch than at dinner. As an example, a three-course set dinner at Gordon Ramsey at Claridges costs £70, but the same thing costs £30 at lunch – a massive £40 saving. Check restaurants’ own websites for offers.

Home-cooked fayre

Eating out can munch away at your money, so do it yourself at home with recipes from forum’s Old Style (thrift) board. There are hundreds of lip-smackingly gorgeous ideas; see a full index of moneysaving menu plans.

If you’re a curry fan, here’s how to make a three-course Indian Takeaway for £5. Many Old Stylers report they now find restaurant grub disappointing.

Don’t feel embarrassed about tap water!

Finally, there’s absolutely no shame in asking for tap water. And it’s better for the environment too.

Thanks to all the Moneysavers who originally suggested the deals above.
