Throughout the week, they will be offering either specific Restaurant Week menus or specials within their existing menu at the four price points of £5, £10, £15 or £20.

Taking up one or more of these delicious offers is easy – visit www.explorehartlepool.com for details of the participating venues and their menus then head down to your chosen venue to eat, letting them know that you would like to take advantage of a Hartlepool Restaurant Week offer. People are also encouraged to share photos of themselves enjoying their meals out on social media using either #explorehartlepool or tagging Explore Hartlepool into their posts.

Cllr Andrew Martin-Wells, chairman of the council’s economic growth and regeneration committee, said: “Over 2,500 diners took up the amazing offers in our last Restaurant Week in October and we’re looking forward to another great week of delicious menus at unbeatable prices, so come and enjoy and support our fantastic local restaurants, cafes and pubs.”
