A restaurant boss said that the first three days of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme had been “astonishing”.
David Page, owner of the Franco Manca pizza chain and The Real Greek, said that the group’s restaurants were “so busy even I couldn’t get a table if I wanted one”.
Meanwhile, leisure billionaire Richard Caring is tipped to close at least 20 of his 78 Bill’s restaurants in response to the Covid crisis.
