Restaurant promotions to beat the credit crunch
Are you looking for somewhere cheap(er) to eat out in Reading? I have compiled a list of local restaurants offering current promotions and offers (not entirely credit crunch-related), below.
I am hoping to grow this list to make the definitive credit crunch lunch guide to Reading. So, if you are a diner or restaurateur with information to contribute, please tell me what you know and we will lengthen the list together!
- Bella Italia - 20% off UCAS card, 20% off NUS card and Tesco Club Card tokens are accepted.
- Carluccio’s - 10% discount on every product in food shop.
- Ha! Ha! - A fiver off your food (when you spend £20 or more) by subscribing to the Ha! Ha! newsletter.
- Ivory Lounge - A fiver off food and drink (when you spend £10 or more) between Sunday and Monday by registering your details with them.
- Malmaison - Malmaison promotions include “festive crackers” (room only rates from £79), “tough prices” and “12 days of Mal”.
- Old Orleans - Old Orleans promotions include 2 for 1 on fajitas, all day Monday to Thursday:
- Ponti’s - 10% off for the over 60s.
- Zizzi - 3 for 2 voucher.

Please make sure you check out how safe it is to eat in these restaurants. Reading Council environmental health officers inspect these premises to assess how safe the food is and give them a score ranging from zero stars to 5 stars. 5 is excellent, zero is very poor. visit http://www.scoresonthedoors.co.uk for details of each eaterie before it’s too late.
