Mealpal
Lunch for less than a fiver? In London?! Surely you can’t be serious. I am being serious. And don’t call me Shirley.
That joke doesn’t really work written down does it…

There’s lots of chains like Yo Sushi and Wrap It Up to more independent food places like Pilau and Patty and Bun.
Embargo
As well as discounts on food, Embargo also have money off bars too.
The more you visit a restaurant or bar, the better your offers get. That’s a loyalty program I can get behind.
So if you have a favourite bar or restaurant, it’s definitely worth checking to see if they’re on Embargo (or you might just find your new favourite place…).

Discoeat
Looking to dine in? Make a reservation and get 10-50% off your bill (discounts vary depending on the time of day you eat).
Discoeat also handily display the Google ratings (not that you’ll need it, the calibre of restaurants are high on this app).
I find the map feature is great if you’re out and about and don’t know what food to eat.
OpenTable
And if you’ve got your heart set on a particular restaurant, it’s worth checking to see if they’re on OpenTable (they most likely are).
You can collect points to spend on future meals. If you’re lucky, OpenTable might even have a deal on the restaurant you’re looking at too.
