About The Restaurant Card United Kingdom
The Restaurant Card is a dining gift card redeemable across the United Kingdom at more than 180 restaurants in The Big Table group, including Bella Italia, Chiquito, Las Iguanas, The Banana Tree, and Frankie & Benny’s. It’s a sensible option when you want to give people a casual meal out rather than a single-brand voucher. The card works in pounds sterling and can be loaded with any amount between £1 and £500, so it fits anything from a pizza lunch to a team dinner with drinks.
Recipients get a code to print and present when paying. There is no separate digital wallet integration, so it suits people who are comfortable bringing a printed voucher or showing the code on a phone. The balance must be used within 24 months of the last transaction, which is reasonably long and means the card is unlikely to expire before someone gets around to booking a table.
Where this card falls short is for remote teams or people who mostly order delivery. Redemption happens in person at participating UK restaurants; it is not usable online for takeaway orders. If your recipients are spread across the country, the restaurant mix matters too: the brands skew casual, with multiple locations in most towns and cities, but the coverage is not universal.
Businesses send The Restaurant Card through GIFQ for payouts, rewards, and incentives. A common use is rewarding a UK-based team after a project, where a meal voucher feels more concrete than a prepaid card. It also works to thank customers or compensate research participants, assuming they can visit a participating restaurant. When you order through GIFQ, you send the card in bulk from the dashboard or one at a time via the API, and the same GBP value applies throughout the UK.
This card is only for the United Kingdom. It cannot be used in other countries, and balances do not transfer to any sibling card, because none exist. If you are sending to people in the UK who eat out occasionally and enjoy familiar high-street chains, it is a straightforward choice.
From product selection to delivery
For a direct order, your business chooses this product, its value and the quantity. Review the card details alongside the recipient’s needs before including it in a bulk order or an integration.
Check the market and value
The card details show the values and currency for this product. Use those to choose an amount that fits your budget and the recipient’s market. For a different country, explore the brand’s other market listings.
Prepare the recipient’s instructions
Review the expiry information shown and the brand’s instructions. Check whether redemption requires an account or a particular channel. Deliver those instructions with the reward so the recipient knows how to use it.
Choose direct ordering or recipient choice
If you need this particular card, order the selected product and value through the dashboard or API. If you want the person to choose the brand, confirm the options available for that payout before presenting the selection.
Start with a small order
Test the flow with a small order and keep its reference. Check the status before repeating a request that appears delayed. In an integration, connect the GIFQ order to your own record so your team can follow up on delivery questions.
