Some 6,000 jobs appear to be at risk at Las Iguanas, Cafe Rouge and Bella Italia following news that the owner of all three restaurant chains has filed notices of intention to appoint administrators. Meanwhile, the UK's economy has suffered a 2-percent fall, its worst decline since the 2008 financial crash, due to the global effects of the ongoing pandemic of the COVID-19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.

On August 14, you could claim a free starter and dessert if you show proof of your results to your server.

There is one catch though, the freebies are only valid if you order a main dish.

But there’s good news – the offer applies to your whole table, not just you.

Chiquito

Take a fellow adult along with you to Chiquito after getting your results and one of you will be eating for free.

That’s because 2025 graduates are able to claim a free adult main meal, with the purchase of one other adult free main meal. The cheapest main will then be discounted from the final bill.

All you have to do is show proof of your exam results or proof of 2025 graduation.

There is a slight catch though – the offer excludes the Ultimate Fajita, Whole Rack of Ribs, and Mexican Sirloin.

Any additional upgrades or double up fillings will be charged separately and you also can’t use it in conjunction with any other deal, set menu, voucher or discount.

The offer is running from now until December 4, so you’ve got a little while to claim your free food, but worth noting that you cannot do so on key calendar dates such as Father’s Day, Christmas Day, etc.

Chiquito asks that you let your server know about your intention to claim the offer when ordering and remind them again when ready to pay.
