Where kids eat free this Easter: Save money this bank holiday weekend with the budget trick every parent should know
If your family is on a budget this Easter but still want to make it special, here are the places kids can eat free over the bank holiday weekend.
As families across the country face another extended school break with the children, many are seeking cheap ways to have a fun time. Food prices are high, and the on-going cost-of-living crisis continues to put a strain on household budgets, leaving little room for extravagant days, or meals, out.
But restaurants and supermarkets are stepping up - with a host of free meals, £1 deals and family offers available that can help slash the cost of eating out. Ben Smye, consumer expert at Hotukdeals, said the offers are giving families a lifeline when it comes to lively ways to enjoy holidays and weekends.
"There are various free and discounted kids’ meal offers running throughout the school holidays and we’ve rounded them up in one place, so the information is more easily accessible. We’ll update this as new offers become available,” he said.
"With food prices still elevated, eating out as a family can feel like a luxury. Whether you need a cheap breakfast, a mid‑shopping pit stop, or a full family dinner without the stress of cooking, choosing the right offers can make half term more manageable. Planning around kids‑eat‑free offers can cut a typical £60 family meal bill almost in half."
He added: "Keep in mind that these offers can vary by location and might change, so double-check with your local restaurants before heading out."
