It can be expensive to keep the kids fed and watered when they’re not at school.

If you are looking to treat them to a meal out during half term, or just want a break from the cooking, here’s a list of the restaurants and cafes with kids eat free or £1 deals.

ASDA

Asda has extended its exceptionally popular £1 kids deal until the end of the year. No minimum spend is required for children to get access to the promotion – and they’ll have both hot and cold options to choose from subject to availability.

BELLA ITALIA

Kids eat free at Bella Italia on Thursdays and for £1 between 4pm and 6pm, Sunday to Wednesday. The menu is suitable for children aged two to 11 and there are three courses available together with a drink.

BEEFEATER and BREWERS FAYRE

Start the day well with a tasty breakfast or brunch – where two children aged under 16 can get a free breakfast with one paying adult.

An unlimited breakfast for an adult, including hot and cold drinks, costs £10.99. The deal is available every morning but restaurant bookings may be required during busy periods.

BILL’S

Up to two children can eat for free at any time of day between Monday, May 27 and Friday, May 31 at Bill’s, when one adult orders any main dish from the breakfast, lunch or dinner menu.

Bill’s children’s menu features family favourites including its famous buttermilk pancakes, mac & cheese, and fish fingers and chips.

FRANKIE & BENNY’S

Italian American restaurant Frankie & Benny’s will be offering free children’s meals from Tuesday, May 28 until Friday, May 31 with the purchase of any adult main course meal.

The deal will give children a main, side, dessert and drink and would usually cost £8.30.

HUNGRY HORSE

There are happy Mondays at Hungry Horse restaurants where children can eat for £1.

The Monday-only promotion is serving up everything from sausages and fish to pizza and chicken. It is worth noting up to two children can eat for £1 with one full paying adult. Full terms and conditions here.

IKEA

Children visiting IKEA can grab a bite to eat from as little as 95p, that even comes with a soft drink and a piece of fruit.

MORRISONS

A child can eat for free at a Morrisons cafe, says the supermarket chain, when they’re accompanied by an adult buying a meal that costs more than £5. The offer applies all day, every day.

TESCO

Kids can eat for free at Tesco this half term thanks to its Clubcard deal , when an adult makes any purchase in the cafe and dines in. The offer excludes weekends and applies Monday to Friday.

TGI FRIDAYS

Diners can claim a free children’s meal with every adult main ordered this half term at TGI Fridays. The offer includes bank holiday Monday and is open to both new and existing rewards members.
