Where kids can eat for free or for a quid in October half term
School holidays can put a big dent in the food budget - especially when you’re feeding little ones who somehow always seem to be “starving” the second you leave the house. But don’t panic! I’ve rounded up the best cafés, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, and pubs where your kids can tuck in without costing you a fortune. Perfect for a cheap day out or a cosy meal when you don’t fancy cooking.

My top tips for October half term
Try and download Kids Pass for the £1 trial month. They have kids eat free vouchers at lots of well-known eateries!
Always check the terms and conditions of these deals as some of them can catch you out on age limits, times or adult spends required! Also remember most of these offers are dine-in only.
Sign up to all the free apps and loyalty schemes that you can get your hands on! These are so worth it to get good bargains. Frankie and Benny’s is one I recommend as I get weekly vouchers for there and the discounts are really good value!
Plan meals around your outings! Try to take packed lunches where you can on days out or stop at a supermarket cafe or pub on the way home instead of splashing out in a touristy spot!
So that’s my full rundown of where to take the kids for a freebie this October half term! Let me know in the comments below if you know of any other places offering kids eat free this year!
