On Monday (3 August) M&S is re-opening a further 102 cafes, bringing the total number open across the UK for dine-in to 303.

All of these cafes are ready for customers to dine-in with confidence and take advantage of the new Eat Out to Help Out scheme which kicks off on Monday. Customers will be able to enjoy half-price delicious hot food and drink Monday to Wednesday – saving up to £10 per person.

In addition to taking part in the Eat Out to Help Out scheme, M&S has passed the savings from the hospitality VAT cut directly onto customers – meaning it’s never been better value for a coffee and a slice of cake. Every single item has already been reduced in price.

Since re-opening our cafes, M&S has sold over 900,000 hot drinks, 175,000 scones, 130,000 toasties and 50,000 toasted teacakes. Below are seven examples of the fantastic value on offer to customers:
