Eat Out to Help Out Near your iCandy Independent Retailer

Eat Out to Help Out Near your iCandy Independent Retailer

Growing Food for Health & Well-being is the theme for National Allotment Week 2020, a campaign that will run from 10th-16th August. This year’s focus couldn’t be more spot on for a year that has confirmed the importance of good health and of course food has a huge role to play in that. Everything begins with fresh produce and its important to know that you can make good food choices whilst out and about too. So, if you’re heading to one of iCandy’s independent retailers for an appointment then why not check out some of the independent restaurants nearby that are participating in the government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme which gives people a discount of up to 50% up to the value of £10 when eating or drinking soft drinks every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday between 3 and 31 August. We’ve put together our top picks of independent restaurants with a focus on delicious, fresh produce…
