25 February 2026 onwards: Eighteen Chefs 50% Off 2nd Main Course Weekday Promotion

If weekday afternoons usually feel a little sluggish, here is something that might change that. From 25 February 2026 onwards, Eighteen Chefs is running a weekday promotion that makes late lunches and early dinners far more rewarding. Diners can enjoy 50% off their second main course when they dine in between 2PM and 5PM, Monday to Friday (excluding Public Holidays).

For anyone who enjoys Western comfort food but prefers to keep spending sensible, this is one of those deals worth planning around. In a city where dining out can add up quickly, especially for hearty mains like burgers, pasta, and fish and chips, getting half off the second main makes a noticeable difference to the final bill.

Eighteen Chefs has built its name around serving generous, satisfying Western plates in a casual setting. They are known for their “Good People Great Food” philosophy, and more importantly for many diners, their food is Halal-certified. That alone makes them a popular option for mixed groups of friends, colleagues, and families looking for somewhere inclusive and comfortable.

Why This Deal Is Worth Timing Your Afternoon Around

The promotional window — 2PM to 5PM — is often considered off-peak. It is that in-between period after the lunch crowd clears and before dinner rush begins. Instead of paying full price at peak hours, diners who can shift their meal slightly later or earlier stand to enjoy serious savings.

Here is how it works in simple terms: order any two main courses, and the second main (of equal or lower value) gets 50% off. The discount is applied automatically to the lower-priced item on the bill. No complicated redemption mechanics, no minimum spending beyond ordering two mains, and no need for vouchers.

For students finishing classes mid-afternoon, colleagues with flexible schedules, remote workers taking a break, or even retirees who prefer quieter dining hours, this time slot makes perfect sense. It also avoids the typical lunchtime queue, which means a more relaxed dining experience.

What’s on the Table? Hearty Western Comfort

The beauty of this promotion is that it applies to their main courses, which include some of their most popular comfort dishes. While menus may vary slightly by outlet, these are the kind of crowd-pleasers diners can expect.

Truffle Mushroom Cream Pasta
Creamy, earthy and indulgent, this pasta is a staple for anyone who loves rich Italian-style flavours. The truffle aroma lifts the dish, while the creamy sauce coats each strand of pasta generously. It is the kind of meal that feels both comforting and slightly luxurious.

Beef Bolognese
A classic that rarely disappoints. Al dente pasta topped with a hearty tomato-based beef sauce makes this a safe yet satisfying choice. It is filling without being overly heavy, perfect for that mid-afternoon hunger pang.

Teriyaki Chicken Burger
For those who prefer something handheld and substantial, this towering burger features a juicy chicken patty glazed in sweet-savoury teriyaki sauce. Often topped with a fried egg and served with fries, it is the sort of dish that makes skipping lunch earlier almost worthwhile.

18C Beef Burger
One of their signature items, this beef burger is stacked with fresh ingredients and a sunny-side-up egg. Served with a side of fries and chilli, it is built for diners who appreciate a robust, no-nonsense burger experience.

Dory Breaded Fish & Chips
Golden and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, the breaded dory fillet is paired with fries, tartar sauce and a side salad. It delivers that classic British-style comfort food appeal in a Halal-certified setting.

When two people order any combination of these mains, the savings quickly become obvious. For example, if one main is priced at $18 and the other at $16, the $16 dish gets 50% off, bringing it down to $8. That is a significant cut for a full-sized main course.

Nett Pricing – No Service Charge Surprise

One detail that often goes unnoticed until the bill arrives at other restaurants is the service charge. At Eighteen Chefs, all prices are nett. That means what diners see on the menu is what they pay — GST included and no additional service charge.

In Singapore, where a 10% service charge plus GST can inflate a meal’s cost, this transparent pricing structure makes budgeting easier. When combined with the 50% off second main promotion, the value becomes even more compelling.

A Practical Choice for Different Occasions

This is not just a “student deal”, although students will certainly benefit. It works equally well for:

• Colleagues planning a late team lunch discussion

• Friends catching up after classes

• Couples looking for a casual weekday date

• Parents meeting up after school drop-off

• Shift workers on unconventional meal schedules

Because the promotion runs Monday to Friday (excluding Public Holidays), it gives regular weekday diners something to look forward to.

How to Enjoy the Promotion

The process is refreshingly straightforward:

1. Visit any participating Eighteen Chefs outlet on a weekday.

2. Arrive between 2PM and 5PM.

3. Dine in and order any two main courses.

4. The lower-priced main will automatically receive 50% off.

It is important to note that the offer is strictly for dine-in only. Takeaways and delivery orders are not eligible. As with most promotions, pictures used in marketing materials are for illustration purposes.

Why It Stands Out Among Weekday Deals

Singapore has no shortage of dining promotions, but many come with complex mechanics, credit card tie-ins, or limited menu selections. What makes this one appealing is its simplicity and broad applicability across mains.

There is also a psychological advantage to dining during off-peak hours. Restaurants are generally quieter, service tends to be more attentive, and diners can linger a little longer without feeling rushed. That alone enhances the experience.

Add to that the Halal-certified menu and nett pricing, and it becomes a practical option for diverse groups. Instead of splitting bills awkwardly or worrying about extra charges, diners can focus on enjoying their meal.

With rising living costs, finding ways to enjoy good food without overspending has become more important than ever. Promotions like this help maintain that balance between treating oneself and staying financially sensible.

For anyone who enjoys Western comfort food — burgers stacked high, creamy pastas, crispy fish and chips — this weekday promotion offers a reason to rearrange lunch or dinner plans slightly. A simple shift in timing could mean enjoying the same hearty dishes at a significantly reduced cost.

From 25 February 2026 onwards, weekday afternoons at Eighteen Chefs are no longer just a gap between lunch and dinner. They become an opportunity for smart dining.
