There are many advantages to eating out at restaurants, from the convenience of not having to prepare food at home to the enjoyment of experimenting with new and intriguing dishes you would not otherwise have had the chance to try. Restaurants are also enduringly popular locations for all sorts of social gatherings, from family parties to romantic nights out. This has built up the image of such eateries being expensive affairs, especially if you're looking for highly rated establishments - but in truth, there are many ways to save money on the cost of dining out in style. One of the best ways to find restaurant deals is online, especially browsing websites where gift vouchers for participating restaurants in your area can be snapped up at heavily discounted rates - sometimes as low as £2 for a £25 gift voucher, for example. You can also sign up to receive the latest offers and coupons via email, offering discounts on restaurants as well as other activities such as spa breaks. These deals can be beneficial to all parties involved, with customers enjoying lower rates for their purchases, restaurants boosting their customer numbers during slow sales months and intermediaries also turning a profit. The internet can also be useful when joining forums or other discussion groups to share your experiences and obtain testimonials from other people who may have used restaurants in your area. Checking restaurant sites that aggregate customer reviews could also give you a clearer idea of which restaurants could best suit your budget, especially when restaurants are categorised by average meal prices. There are other ways to cut a significant portion of your expenses when visiting restaurants, such as checking whether you're allowed to bring your own drinks and pay a modest corkage fee, which will usually work out much cheaper than paying for wine, beer and other drinks on the premises - especially when you consider that some restaurants may mark up a bottle of wine by as much as 300 or 400 per cent. Another effective way of finding restaurant deals that aren't advertised online or in other sources is to walk by a number of establishments in person, such as taking a stroll around Manchester, London or Newcastle restaurants during a visit to whichever city centre is closest to you. This will allow you to see the latest offers such as 2 for 1 and special lunch deals, which could save you money by dining with a partner or friend, or eating out earlier in the day.
