The ultimate guide to what to do in summer.

The summer holidays always arrive sooner than expected. One moment, you’re packing away the Christmas decorations and finishing the Easter egg hunt, and the next, summer is here—with weeks ahead and no plans in sight.

On top of that, there’s the financial side to think about. Budgeting is always important, but you still need to make time for fun—and possibly keep the whole family entertained. Staying in all summer? That would be a crime against the great British summer!

Don’t stress, though; all is well. With tastecard, you can make spectacular savings on all sorts of sensational summer fun. From discount days out with the kids, cinema deals on the newest blockbusters to mouthwatering restaurant deals, it’s all possible with tastecard and we’re here to show you how.

Relaxing in the sun with a drink in hand, surrounded by friends and family—what could be better? Even more so when the kids are happily entertained!

That’s where Brewers Fayre comes in. This family-friendly spot offers great value, serving up freshly prepared favourites for everyone to enjoy. Plus, many locations feature children’s play areas or soft play, making them the perfect place for the whole family to unwind. The kids' menu offers all their favourites from pizza, mac ‘n’ cheese and fish bites to mini steak burgers and spaghetti bolognese. If that doesn’t keep ‘em quiet, then we don’t know what will.

As for the adults, well, the menu is not just simple pub grub because there are twists on all the ‘standards’. We love the Trio of Mini Pies, which includes steak & ale, slow-cooked lamb & mint and chicken tikka, all served with mash or chips and a jug of comforting home-cooked gravy.  The best part? With your tastecard, you can get 25% off your total bill, Sunday to Friday. 

As the sun starts to come back out, so do the cocktail menus and spicier dishes. With tastecard’s 25% off the total bill meal deals, it’d be rude not to freshen up with a fruity cocktail or two! Revolución de Cuba has endless Cuban-inspired drinks to transport you from one summer climate to another. Whether you’re a fan of a marg with your meal or prefer some sangria with your sharers, Revolución de Cuba is the perfect spot to visit when the sun is out!

When the sun is out, all you really need for a memorable day is space in the garden, good company, even better food and a good bottle of sun tan lotion, of course! But if you don’t fancy getting the barbecue out this time, tastecard has plenty of options to keep the guests at your little garden party well-fed and wanting more! 
Our simple and straightforward pizza delivery deals mean that you get to focus your attention on the things that matter most - relaxing and laughing with your loved ones! So, are you a Pizza Hut, Domino’s or Papa Johns kind of family? We’ll let you have that discussion amongst yourselves, but in any case, we’re pretty confident that you’ll be satisfied!

Summer is the best time of year to plan exciting days out across the UK. With both the weather and tastecard’s discounted day out deals on your side, what’s stopping you? If you’re a family of thrill seekers, you’ll love the idea of our Alton Towers and Thorpe Park discounts. With endless rollercoasters and immersive experiences on offer, these destinations breed memories that you’ll be looking back on for years to come!

Going to the cinema is a great way to spend time with your friends and family if you’re looking for what to do in the summer. tastecard isn’t just about food and drink - although the offers on tastecard are unmissable in both these areas - it offers a great way to save money on cinema tickets too. 

The blockbusters are stellar over the summer period, so you simply need to decide what you want to see, click 'get offer’' on your chosen cinema and purchase e-codes in your tastecard app. Then head over to the cinema’s own website, select your film showing and add it to your basket. Pop in your e-code at checkout, bag your tastecard savings, and get ready for the main event! Lights down, snacks ready—your film night just got even better.

tastecard is here to help you and your family power through the good old UK summer months, snagging the best of the deals and having the greatest of times. No need to worry about summer fun draining your wallet—your trusty tastecard membership has you covered! Keep the kids happy and the costs down while making the most of the holidays.
