As well as making the site even easier to navigate for food lovers looking for the best dining out deals quickly, 5pm.co.uk is inviting customers to write and read tips on the best places that the restaurant scene has to offer from like-minded users, making it the site to visit before choosing where to eat out.

It is hoped that this new service will help to build a world class restaurant scene in Scotland and beyond by making it easier for people to discover new restaurants as well as making it simple for visitors to the city to choose where to eat during their trip.

Customers will be able to check out various things such as a restaurant’s service rating, menus, the standard of food, whether the place is child friendly, caters for vegetarians and where it is located on a map. Plus by critiquing their favourite eateries they can build up extra loyalty points that can be redeemed against future bookings.

The company has been trialing the service for the last three weeks and they have already had over 8000 reviews submitted by food lovers eager to share their views.

Says Amanda Masson, 5pm.co.uk’s Sales Director: “This is an exciting new chapter for 5pm.co.uk. We have been listening to feedback from customers and we know that they sometimes have difficulty choosing between the hundreds of fantastic restaurants on our site, so who better to make recommendations than the customers themselves!

“In the same way that people check reviews before going on holiday, we hope that 5pm.co.uk will be the place to visit before any restaurant booking.”

5pm.co.uk was first launched six years ago by Chairman Charles Shaw and Managing Director Ronnie Somerville with Amanda Masson joining the team from the very beginning. The site rapidly became the UK’s number one online restaurant reservation service and went on to win several prestigious awards, the respect of the food industry and over 175,000 registered users.

As well as restaurant reservations, the website also offers fantastic deals on relaxing spas and events such as cookery courses and cocktail classes plus tickets for some of the most exciting things happening across the UK.
