Following months of lockdown, most Sunderland restaurants have reopened their doors and are embracing the new normal.
Food-lovers can now head out for a socially-distant meal and can take advantage of the Government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme this month.
The Government’s scheme runs from August 3 – 31, 2020, and means that you’ll get 50% off your food and non-alcoholic drinks up to a total value of £10 per person when you eat or drink out in participating bars and restaurants every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday within the time period.
We take a look at the Tripadviser highest rated Italian restaurants in Sunderland which have reopened – and if they will be taking part in the scheme.
