The next Hartlepool Restaurant Week will soon be taking place and local eateries are being urged to get involved and help make it the best ever.
Running from Monday 19 to Sunday 25 October, it provides an opportunity for restaurants, pubs and cafes across the borough to showcase their menus and market themselves to a whole new clientele.
Organised by Hartlepool Borough Council’s Economic Growth Team, it aims to build on the last Hartlepool Restaurant Week – held in January of this year – which saw 28 businesses participate and 2,500 customers take advantage of the offers available.
Councillor Rob Darby, Chair of the Council’s Housing, Growth and Communities Committee, said: “With a fresh, new look, next month’s Hartlepool Restaurant Week is set to be bigger and better than ever, building further on the great results last January.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for Hartlepool businesses to showcase their menu, attract new customers, boost footfall during the quieter autumn season and raise their profile as part of Hartlepool’s thriving food and drink scene.
“I hope as many of our marvellous Hartlepool eateries as possible will get involved.”
Participating businesses are required to offer either specific Hartlepool Restaurant Week menus or specials within their existing menu at the four price points of £5, £10, £15 or £20.
They must be able to offer a “dine in” experience to take part.
Businesses wishing to take part can register by emailing tourism@hartlepool.gov.uk or on the ‘What’s On’ section at www.explorehartlepool.com
