Councillor Rob Darby, Chair of Hartlepool Borough Council's Housing, Growth and Communities Committee, said: "Hartlepool Restaurant Week is a fantastic initiative which continues to go from strength to strength and it is wonderful to see one of the biggest line-ups of participating businesses we've ever had.
"Our hospitality sector plays a hugely important role in the local economy, providing employment for hundreds of local people and helping to make Hartlepool a vibrant and welcoming place to live, work and visit.
"Restaurant Week gives residents and visitors a great opportunity to support local businesses while enjoying some excellent food and drink offers. It is also a valuable chance for businesses to showcase what they have to offer and reach out to new customers who may not have visited them before.
"I would encourage everyone to take advantage of the fantastic deals available and discover some of the outstanding venues we have right here in Hartlepool."
