Edinburgh jobs saved as Prezzo Italian announces new location in city
Prezzo has offered jobs to those who were made redundant on the same terms or better than their previous role and 16 have accepted those offers, and they are hoping more will agree too. The new Edinburgh restaurant will be open at 135 George Street, and it is their third Scottish location with one in Glasgow's Braehead shopping centre and Aberdeen's Union Square. Read More James Brown, CEO of Prezzo Italian, said: 'This is a hugely exciting moment for Prezzo Italian, as we look to open our first new restaurants in five years. Gusto Italian's George Street site was an appealing investment, with high footfall in Scotland's capital city. 'We have long been looking for additional Scottish locations as part of our long-term strategy to further grow our UK footprint. 'We are excited to come back to Edinburgh and deliver our new menu, reaffirming our position in the market as the 'home of the Italian classics'. 'Acquiring this prime location site in Edinburgh is a real statement of intent and shows the commitment and confidence we have in our brand. 'We are seeing fantastic results from the investment we've made in our restaurants and teams across the UK, and there is a renewed energy across the business. 'With double-digit sales growth and a pipeline of opportunities ahead, we're building a stronger, more relevant Prezzo Italian for the future.'

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Edinburgh's city centre is set to welcome a popular chain as they move in on George Street. Prezzo will be opening their first new restaurants in five years, and are launching at 135 George Street. The unit was previously operated by Gusto, who announced they were going into administration in July. The new eatery has said they are offering former Gusto employees new roles. After Prezzo purchased the site, they 'quickly engaged' with staff, who have been offered 'the same terms or better' after being made redundant. Prezzo have seen 'strong performance' after recobering from the pandemic, and are revitalising menus and upgrading restaurants across the country. They're opening 40 more locations in the coming years, with 15 scheduled for 2025. The chain was established in 2000, and currently has 96 sites across the country.

"Keeping them open would put pressure on the wider business, making it harder to invest where we know we can grow. This decision is not simply a response to the challenging UK hospitality market, but a proactive decision to redefine the bar division's focus. "This is not a decision we've taken lightly. But as we evolve BrewDog into a more focused and sustainable business, we've had to be honest about where we are - and where we're heading."

Best summer holiday money-saving deals, from kids meals to discount days out
Summer is well and truly underway, leaving many parents wondering how they'll keep the kids entertained on their already-stretched budgets. No matter how frugal you are, extra spending adds up quickly over the school holidays. From meals to activities, the break can put a serious dent in your wallet. But there's no need to panic. A number of UK businesses are offering discounts and deals to help families save money without cutting back on fun — and we've rounded up some of the best. So whether you're looking to plan a full weekend of adventure, or just trying to keep lunch costs down, this go-to guide has an array of options to ensure your summertime schedule doesn't break the bank. One of the simplest ways to save money this summer is to cut back on dining out. However, many places have promotions over the holidays, so you don't necessarily have to miss out. From July 21 to August 29 (excluding weekends), up to two children can eat free when one adult orders any main dish at Bill's. The offer runs all day, including the chain's breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, applying to all children under 10. You'll also be provided with story books, colouring in materials and stickers to keep the little ones entertained while you dine. Browse the Bill's menu and find your local branch here. With the purchase of an adults main meal, children up to 12 years old will receive a free three-course kids meal at Prezzo, every day from July 14 to September 5. All you need to do is sign up to receive a code via email, which you then show to the waiter at the end of your meal. Prezzo has 180 branches across the UK. Visit the website for more information. For a limited time, you can get a 30-day trial of the Kids Pass discount scheme for just £1, which gives you access to great discounts on activities, restaurants and events all across the UK. Take a look here for more information. Parents who sign up to Ask Italian's Perks rewards app can save this summer. All you need to do is claim a code, and you'll get your hands on two free kids meals with the purchase of an adult meal. Valid from Friday July 18 through to Sunday August 31, it makes for a budget-friendly holiday treat. For more information on the offer, or to find your nearest branch, check the Ask Italian website. Finding yourself in London or Edinburgh this summer? Head to Bread Street Kitchen, where children aged 10 and under eat free when accompanied by an adult ordering two courses from the a la carte menu. Kids can choose from mac and cheese, sausage and mash, meatball pasta and more, with no extra cost added to your bill. This deal is valid every day at its Liverpool, Stratford, Limehouse, Southwark, and St Paul's locations, or at the City, Heddon Street Kitchen, Battersea, Mayfair and Edinburgh branches on weekdays only. Visit the Bread Street Kitchen website for more information. If your little ones are pizza and pasta fans, you can get a free, three-course piccolo meal at Pizza Express this summer with every adult main.

For more information on the offer or to find your local branch, take a look here. Travelling with the whole clan? During the school holidays, Heathrow Airport is running a Kids Eat Free promotion across a variety of its restaurants. With options in Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 – including Leon, Shan Shui, Giraffe and Co-Pilots Bar & Kitchen – it's a handy way avoid blowing too much holiday cash before you've even stepped on the plane. The promotion is valid from July 18 to September 2, with one free children's meal for each purchased from the adult's menu priced at £14.95 or more. Visit the Heathrow website for more information. This popular London spot is offering children aged 8 and under a complimentary kids meal with the purchase of any main menu dish, alongside an activity sheet and crayons to keep young diners occupied. Available everyday from 12pm to 5pm, across Angus Steakhouse's five London locations: Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, Mayfair, Paddington and Oxford Circus. You can find more information on the brand's website. Alongside restaurant deals, Metro money expert Rosie Murray-West has a few other tips to make eating out more economical. Buying a pack of ice creams from the supermarket rather than a van at the beach will save you more than you'd think, especially if you have more than one child. Or, if you need a caffeine hit while looking after the kids and happen to have a smart meter with Octopus Energy, you can get a code each week for a free tea or coffee at Caffe Nero or Greggs. Days out can add up fast, but summer adventures don't mean you have to spend a fortune. Take a look at our shortlist of the some of the best deals over the summer break.
