Where kids can eat free or cheap during the Easter 2026 school holidays

School holidays can be expensive, especially when every activity seems to involve food, too. But there are loads of places across the UK where kids can eat free, or for nearly free, during the Easter holidays!

I’ve rounded up the best cafés, supermarkets, restaurants, and pubs where your kids can tuck in without costing you a fortune. You could even have a picnic to keep costs down!
