Wondering what to do after work?

When you’re working a full-time job, it’s easy to make your entire day revolve around work. Living for the weekend comes naturally, but if you ask us, that’s no way to live! Especially when there are so many fun and exciting ways to spice up your average weekday, with the help of tastecard’s restaurant deals and more. So, take a look at tastecard’s recommendations now and inject some flavour into your weeknights!

Get competitive and play ball.

Food and an activity are the perfect ways to spend an evening after work. We’re particularly fond of Sixes Social Cricket, a venue offering an irresistible food and drinks menu. But that’s not all - they also have a selection of cricket games and challenges for visitors to enjoy between slices of pizza or sips of beer! 

 

So get competitive, step up to bat, and invite your friends or colleagues to this party bar for a memorable night of great entertainment and even better food. Even better - tastecard is bowling you a generous 50% off your total food and drinks bill!

Treat yourself to an Italian.

If you ask us, there’s never a wrong time to tuck into an Italian. We often spend hours behind our desks dreaming of a Bella Italia pasta dish or an ASK Italian calzone - not to mention a visit to Pizza Hut's famed ice cream machine! So, go on, treat yourself to a trip to an Italian restaurant to round off a hard day’s work.

 

Just be sure to take tastecard along to one of our aforementioned chain restaurant partners to enjoy 2 for 1 deals on your food!

Enjoy some hearty British pub grub.

Some days at work just call for a visit to your local afterwards. Whether you’re taking the family out to enjoy some good ol’ British pub grub or meeting friends to catch up over a sensible drink or two, you can always rely on the atmosphere of a British restaurant to liven up your evening.

 

Enjoy 25% off your total bill at both Beefeater and Brewers Fayre when you visit with tastecard. A good fish and chips doesn’t have to wait for Friday!

Catch a film at the cinema.

What if we told you that after work, there’s enough time to be transported to far-off lands and distant worlds, all before bedtime? We’d be talking about the cinema, of course, but, seriously, what better time to head out and catch a film? Hollywood is constantly pumping out new and exciting movies for you to enjoy, and with tastecard, you can enjoy them for less!

 

Make the most of our discount cinema tickets and enjoy unique experiences at some of the most popular chain cinemas across the nation.

Grab a coffee with friends.

As you get older and your entire friend group settles into a 9-5, buys a house and starts a family, keeping in touch can be tricky. That’s why weeknights are so important!
