Warrington Restaurant Week returns for a second year this October, bringing seven days of special menus, exclusive offers, and food and drink experiences to venues across the town centre.
Taking place from Monday, October 12th to Sunday, October 18th, the event will once again bring together restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs and other food and drink businesses, encouraging people to explore more of Warrington’s hospitality scene while supporting businesses across the town centre.
Launched by Warrington Business Improvement District (BID) for the first time in 2025, Restaurant Week was created to showcase the variety of places to eat and drink in Warrington and give people another reason to visit, spend time in the town centre and try somewhere they may not have been before.
For 2026, the event will return under the theme Our Town, Our Table, celebrating the many different ways people enjoy Warrington’s food and drink offer, from morning coffee and lunch with colleagues to family meals, date nights, after-work drinks and evenings out with friends.
Participating businesses will create their own Restaurant Week menus, offers and deals, with the full line-up due to be revealed later in September. JD Wetherspoon, Costello’s, Blossom Café Bar and Dorado Lounge are among businesses getting involved this year.
Jessica Bowman, Warrington BID Board Member and Manager at The Friar Penketh, said: “After the success of last year’s event, we were really keen to be part of Warrington Restaurant Week again. It’s a great way to get people into the town centre, encourage them to try somewhere new and remind people just how much Warrington has to offer when it comes to eating and drinking out. We’re really looking forward to being involved again and welcoming people through our doors.”
Andrea Morley, BID Project Manager, said: “When we launched Warrington Restaurant Week last year, we wanted to create something that would bring our food and drink businesses together and give people another reason to explore what we have here in the town centre, so it’s fantastic to be bringing it back for a second year.
“Our Town, Our Table sums up what Restaurant Week is all about because there are so many different reasons people come together over food and drink. It could be meeting a friend for coffee, grabbing lunch during the working day, taking the family out for dinner or making a night of it with friends, and we want this year’s event to celebrate all of those occasions.”
Warrington Restaurant Week forms part of Warrington BID’s wider programme of activity to support town centre businesses, increase footfall and encourage more people to spend time locally.
The event follows Warrington Food and Drink Festival, as the BID continues to build a programme of food-led activity that showcases the businesses and experiences available across the town centre.
Andrea added: “There is so much variety across Warrington now, including some of the very best independent businesses alongside established and well-known names, and Restaurant Week gives us an opportunity to put all of that in the spotlight.
“We’d love people to use the week to try somewhere they’ve been meaning to visit, discover something completely new or head back to one of their favourites.”
The full list of participating venues and their exclusive Restaurant Week offers will be announced on Wednesday, September 23rd.
Warrington Restaurant Week will take place from Monday, October 12th to Sunday, October 18th, 2026.
