Cheap & Cheerful Eats campaign returns in May - who can participate and how to get involved

1 - 31 May 2022

Applications are now closed.

After a successful first year in 2021, we’re bringing back our ‘Cheap & Cheerful Eats’ campaign. This will showcase appealing food and drink offers from city centre cafés, bars and restaurants. This year, there will be two price points - ‘Cheap’ ($15) and ‘Cheerful’ ($30). The campaign will take place under all levels of the current COVID-19 Framework.

The Cheap & Cheerful Eats campaign is exclusively for restaurants, cafes and bars within the heart of the city boundary. A map of our boundary is available here.
