More than half of adults surveyed in August 2020 had not taken advantage of the UK government's "Eat Out to Help Out" scheme, aimed at helping to induce the number of restaurant visitors following a period of lockdown. Around one quarter of Britons have bought a discounted meal under the program once or twice. At the time of survey, 84 thousand restaurants had signed up to the scheme.
