The news comes as Deliveroo founder Will Shu wrote an open letter to Boris Johnson, signed by 330 restaurant partners, urging him to bring back the ‘Eat out to Help out’ scheme as well as extending the business rates relief and continuing to offer reduced VAT on food.

He said: “In my opinion, the Eat Out to Help Out scheme won’t be necessary when everything is allowed to open up again and if they do the same scheme, it will just cause further complications when we all have enough on our plate.
