Watford Food & Drink Week returns on Monday, with discounts and special offers galore until May 20.

From free bottles of wine to food and drink samplings and up to 30 per cent off at popular restaurants, Food & Drink Week gives everyone a reason to head into Watford town centre and try something new.

There will be offers at high street chains including Zizzi, Wagamama, Tortilla, Bills, GBK and Creams, as well as popular independents including Barracuda, Pepe Rosso, Gibson Butchers and Fresh Shop, plus welcome new additions to the High Street: W Shakespeare, Dessert Island and Lebanese restaurant Byblos Bay.

There are offers and events at the night time venues too – from wine and craft beer tasting at The Moon Under Water and cocktail masterclasses at Twisted Monkey to free or discounted entry into Hydeout and Reflex and special prices at Bosleys, Steinbeck & Shaw, Molloys and Walkabout.

Plus some great take-away promotions at Papa John’s pizza, Subway and Krispy Kreme that mustn’t be missed.

Offers are listed in the Watford Food & Drink week brochure, which is being distributed to every Watford household and can also be found on the website: watfordforyou.org. To redeem an offer, simply present the brochure, or the website offer on a smartphone or print it out and bring it to the venue.

Kwame Tefe, chair of Watford BID, the organisation behind Watford Food & Drink Week, says: ‘We want to celebrate Watford’s great mix of food and drinking establishments and encourage Watford residents and people from surrounding areas to come to our town and try something or somewhere new. There are some great deals to be had and there’s certainly something for everyone.”

This is the second Watford Food & Drink Week organised by Watford Business Improvement District (BID), the organisation run for the benefit of businesses in the town, funded by businesses in the town. For further information about Watford BID visit the website watfordbid.co.uk.
