Councillor Rob Darby, chairman of the council’s housing, growth and communities committee, said: “With a fresh, new look, next month’s Hartlepool Restaurant Week is set to be bigger and better than ever, building further on the great results last January.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for Hartlepool businesses to showcase their menu, attract new customers, boost footfall during the quieter autumn season and raise their profile as part of Hartlepool’s thriving food and drink scene.

“I hope as many of our marvellous Hartlepool eateries as possible will get involved.”

The previous Restaurant Week in January saw 28 businesses take part and 2,500 customers enjoy special offers.

Businesses wanting to sign up must be able to offer a dine-in experience to take part.
