Whitbread’s Restaurant Business Gives Discounts to Heroes in UK

Whitbread’s restaurant business has collaborated with Blue Light Card (BLC) to provide a discount of 25% off food ordered from the main menu, for those who work for the NHS, the emergency services and Armed Forces.

The discount is available at the following Whitbread restaurants: Beefeater, Brewers Fayre, Table Table, Thyme, Bar + Block and Cookhouse and Pub.

Whitbread has partnered with the scheme to celebrate its 10th anniversary - giving those who put their life on the line as well as doctors, nurses, police and fire service personnel plus selected other public sector workers a hearty discount when dining with family or friends.

BLC, the UK's biggest Emergency Services, NHS and Armed Forces discount provider, started in September 2008 and has since welcomed over a million members within the last 10 years, providing in store and online discount to people who put others before themselves every day.

To redeem the offer, card holders simply need to show they have a BLC membership to the server when ordering and present it when the bill is requested.

Phil Birbeck, Managing Director of Whitbread Restaurants said, “The UK’s Armed Forces, NHS workers and Emergency Service personnel are among the thousands of public sector workers who do us proud on a daily basis. We are delighted to offer one of the Blue Light Card’s meal discount as a small token of our appreciation for the outstanding work they do.”

Whitbread also recently launched a military recruitment scheme partnering with the Ministry of Defence to help veterans get back into work and making it easier for spouses and partners of serving personnel to find jobs in the UK.
