First Table has now launched in Leicester, offering diners 50% off their food bill in return for booking early or off-peak tables.

Restaurants already signed up to First Table and offering discounts include Chutney Ivy, Casa Romana, Veeno, The Gresham, La Fontana, 3 Little Birds, and more.

First Table works by giving diners access to a limited number of off-peak tables, typically around 5.30pm or after 9pm, which come with 50% off the total food bill.

Bookings are made via the First Table app or website, with diners paying a small booking fee of between £4 and £8. The model is designed to benefit both diners and restaurants. Customers are encouraged to try new venues at a reduced cost, while restaurants can fill quieter tables, build atmosphere earlier in service, and make better use of off-peak periods.

Chutney Ivy are one of the restaurants offering 50% off your food bill via First Table.

“Veeno is all about welcoming people in and creating a great experience from the moment we open,” said Alex Mondou, operations manager at Veeno, one of the first restaurants to join First Table in Leicester.

“First Table gives us a smart way to fill early tables and connect with diners who might not have discovered us otherwise. We work with them in a number of locations across the country and we can clearly see the benefits of the model in action”

“Leicester’s food scene offers something special at every turn,” remarks CEO and founder Mat Weir. “Between the Golden Mile and Clarendon Park, you can always discover a new favourite everywhere you go.”
