00:06offers available at eateries across the city centre and we've got these lovely

00:29restaurants involved is Lunya which started in 2008 with a food stall at

00:34World Food Festival that a Catalonian deli restaurant and bar on Hanover Street

00:38with the little sister site Lunya Lita at Liverpool's Royal Albert Dock we've got

00:43some wonderful places in the city haven't we some fantastic food but we need

00:47people to get out and we need to get out ourselves because if we don't go and

00:51support it we're only gonna lose it I've got my favorite restaurants but I think

00:57in restaurant week it's not a chance to just just go back to them and get their

01:01offers and be with their staff and know their vibe let's try something new let's

01:06go to someone I've never been that might be somewhere on the docks somewhere on

01:09castle seats the UK restaurant industry in 2025 is navigating a complex economic

01:15landscape marked by rising operational costs shifting consumer behaviors and

01:20evolving dining trends it's it's a difficult difficult time to be in the

01:25sector both from you know staff even even for customers actually because the

01:30amount of places you go now and there's there's less people to serve and and it's

01:35a shame but I think Scousers we stick together don't we we're gonna go and

01:40support our own anyway whether that's going to your local pub or coming out on

01:43restaurant week coming to say hello designed to encourage diners to find new

01:48favorites discover hidden gems and enjoy the buzz of Liverpool's restaurant scene

01:52without breaking the bank the popular campaign returns to the city this May

01:57with a whole new host of offers so 2024 was just an incredible year we had over

02:03two hundred and thirty seven thousand pounds worth of vouchers downloaded on the

02:06website so people are so keen the website crashed the first day it was so busy so we

02:12have increased the bandwidth on the website and we are expecting you know as

02:16busy as you know the numbers are already looking as busy as they were and

02:19obviously we've extended it to over nine days this year because a lot of

02:23feedback last year was oh I'm not here that weekend I'm not here so we thought

02:26let's get two weekends let's get more chance for people to enjoy this offer

02:30the event gives local venues the chance to provide customers with deals

02:33taking place and what can be a quiet week of the year to support the

02:38industry it was first launched last year and is designed to cast a

02:41spotlight on the city's restaurant sector all participating venues offer deals

02:46between five and thirty five pounds and I think discussing this it really makes us
