Many restaurants, cafés, and supermarkets run special promotions allowing children to eat for free or at a reduced cost at various times of the year, particularly during school holidays. These offers can be a great way to enjoy meals out as a family while keeping costs down.

Local and national chains frequently participate in these schemes, with some offering free meals when an adult purchases a main course, while others provide discounts or low-cost meal options for children.

Supermarket cafés also often run similar promotions, ensuring families have access to affordable meals.

As these offers change throughout the year, we encourage you to check directly with restaurants and cafés in your area for up-to-date information.

Taking advantage of these promotions can help to ease the financial pressures felt during school breaks.

Please see the tabs on the right of this page for some examples of these offers.
