🍝 Restaurant Discounts
EatClub is an app that gets you discounts at select restaurants at off-peak times, filling empty tables while you save money. Discounts are up to 50% and apply to the total bill, drinks included. The discount you get depends on the restaurant and the time, so it’s usually bigger on quieter slots.
How to use it:
- Download the free app.
- Browse nearby restaurants and pick a deal for the time you want to eat.
- When it’s time to pay, the app generates a virtual card you add to your phone’s wallet. Pay with it and the discount is applied automatically. There is no need to tell the restaurant staff about the discount!
New users can sometimes get a welcome discount the first time they use the app, but this varies based on time and location.
First Table is a booking app where you get 50% off your food bill by booking the first table of the evening. Restaurants release their first tables for breakfast, lunch or dinner, usually in quieter periods. Availability is shown seven days ahead.
How to use it:
- Sign up for a free account on the app or website.
- Choose a city, then a restaurant, date and time.
- Pay a booking fee (usually between £4 - £8) and you get 50% off the food bill for two to four diners.
TheFork is a restaurant booking platform which also offers discounts and a loyalty programme.
- You can save up to 50% off food bills at participating venues.
- Yums Loyalty Program: Earn 100 Yums per standard booking, which convert into money-off vouchers (such as 1,000 Yums for a £20 discount or 2,000 Yums for a £50 discount).
- TheFork Pay: You can also pay your bill directly inside the app at supported venues.
💡 Tips for Maximising Food & Grocery Savings
- Sign up to UNiDAYS, Student Beans, and TOTUM, each has unique deals.
- Use delivery discounts on groceries (Uber Eats/Deliveroo) when you’re too busy to shop.
- Always combine store loyalty cards (Tesco Clubcard, Co-op Membership, etc.) with student discounts.
- Check Reddit threads (like r/beermoneyuk) for the latest codes shared by students.
Happy saving (and snacking)! 🍕🥤
