I agree with the author’s point of view! I learned a lot. Thank you!
Love this. Thanx
zizzi offer and slug and lettuce BOTH expired Feb.
Hi Kendra,
Both deals are still running, although the Slug and Lettuce offer runs out on 11 April, so get your skates on if you want to use it!
Just seen my comment on your site, supposedly sent at 4.57. As it is 3.57, I guess your planet is one hour ahead of mine.
Thanks for pointing it out Brian. We’ve made the change!
Your opening blurb says that “Christmas is just around the corner”. Which corner? What planet are you on?
Anybody heard of Hi-Life Diners Club ? I recently took out a 2 month free trial (via an e-mail sent to work) It’s a card that gets you 2 meals for the price of 1 – loads of restaurants participating , pizzaexpress, zizzi, prezzo, HA!HA!, the livig room etc etc up to 3 courses free – have saved over £60 already and only used it twice – got 5 more weeks left to use it ! Anyway, thought I’d share it with everybody – happy eating ! Chrissie x
Thank you! The post is very helpful!
Tesco offer now expired. Thanks for all the offers!
Thanks so much for letting us know! We’ve removed it now.
la tasca offer is only til 31st july 09!
Oops – thanks for telling us! We’ve taken it off.

I don’t recognise any of the restaurants listed here where I live. Maybe you should provide a list of towns where these are.
I could not beat Yates’s at Bury, there meal deal of £1.99 ! YES £1.99! different choices but we had the chicken melt. chicken breat in a yummy sauce covered with bacon and cheese, with chips, peas and tomato.

please can I have a voucher for half price meals at pizzaexpress
Sorry back again.
How silly i have cracked it.
How silly do i feel? You need to highlight over the voucher and then print.
Many thanks I am now able to treat my father and sister to dinner. H
Hi There,
What a fantastic website and some wonderful deals. Thankyou very much!
However I am trying to print off the La Tasca 50% of your bill voucher and I am continuously just getting a blank piece of paper.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks H
Hi
I admire your website and what you are trying to do however I find it very England orientated with very little on offer in Scotland
Hoping you can amend this in the future
Regards
Rebecca
i find that most offers are from italian bistro type eateries not restaurants – big difference.Go for franchise type then you will find more in scotland
Hi I have tried on a number of occasions to print the ZiZi voucher – the 99p offer and it keeps printing a blank sheet of paper
You don’t need a voucher. You can have a carvery and dessert/starter for £5 before 7pm. Says so on the Toby website and we have had it – great value.
It’s quite amusing when you see people posting comments saying ‘I would like a voucher’. Then when they don’t get an answer to their ignorant question straight away they start chasing it up with another post saying ‘please reply, where is my voucher etc.’.
Lazy, whining, ungrateul, impatient freeloaders! They just see the word ‘free’ and the name of the restaurant and don’t even read the special offer or click the link.
Do they actually think they are exempt from actually reading the offer ?(because it’s ‘free’) They must have thought the voucher would magically end up arriving with them somehow.
If they put as much effort into actually reading the offer as they have demanding the vouchers they would have got them instantly. What made me laugh is the girl from the website had to waste several minutes of her life (like me now!) actually telling these people several times on the same page to click the link to get the vouchers.
IF THESE PEOPLE CAN’T BE BOTHERED / ARE TOO STUPID TO READ THE OFFER WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CHANCES ARE OF THEM A. FINDING THE RESTAURANT. B. ACTUALLY GOING OR HAVING THE MONEY TO GO IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Wow, who stole your Teddy! Feel better at getting that off your chest? You need to see your GP and ask him, ” Doc, do you have anything to stop me being such a miserable sod? I’m on edge all the time and get irritable at the slightest thing!.
Good to see you are in the Christmas spirit!
