Best ‘Freedom Day’ deals at restaurants, pubs and chains including Domino’s and Young’s
BIG chains and pubs including Domino's and Young's are flogging deals, discounts and freebies to celebrate Freedom Day.
From today, social distancing has been scrapped in pubs and bars and workers are beginning to return to the office.
Thousands of Brits flocked to nightclubs in the early hours of the morning as venues opened their doors at midnight for the first time since March 2020.
Meanwhile, wearing a face masks is no longer a legal requirement, although it is still recommended in crowded places.
To mark the occasion, some of the nation's favourite chains are giving out free food and booze.
We round up all the best deals you can bag today:
How to get free grub
FINDING out which shops and restaurants are offering freebies can sometimes be hard.
We've put together some tips for you on how to snoop out free grub:
- Sign up to free subscription trials - for example, Pret a Manger's subscription service, which launched in September, is giving customers free coffee for a month when they sign up.
- Sign up to apps - app users can often get exclusive deals and money off on their favourite meals - and at McDonald’s, app users can get freebies and discounts on their birthday.
- Use food waste apps - supermarkets and restaurants often throw away unsold fresh food at the end of the day - but you can use food waste apps to pick these items up for free or at heavily discounted prices.
It's free to download via Google Play or the App Store, but you'll have to register with a few bits of personal information, such as your email address.
