Residents and visitors to Sidmouth will be dining out in style next month, as a number of local restaurants, pubs and cafés take part in the government's Eat Out to Help Out scheme.

In a bid to boost the hospitality industry following the coronavirus lock down, the unprecedented government scheme will allow people who dine out from Monday to Wednesday during August to benefit from 50 per cent off the price of their meals, up to the value of £10 a head, with the government reimbursing the restaurant the remaining 50 per cent.

Many Sidmouth establishments have signed up to take part in the scheme, in a bid to boost numbers coming through the doors.

Restaurants, pubs and cafes in the local area which have signed up are:

-The Dairy Shop

-The Courtyard

-The Cornish Bakery

-Milson's Point

-Becketts Coffee House

-Blues Wine Bar
