Full list of 22 UK restaurants and supermarkets where kids can eat for less over Easter | Personal Finance | Finance

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it is that half-term holidays are notoriously expensive. With inflated flight prices, endless activities to keep children entertained and holiday bookings through the roof, the budget takes a serious dent.

Luckily, the bank holiday might offer some respite when the purse strings are feeling a little tight. Across the UK, 22 restaurants and supermarkets are offering cheap eats for children over Easter to end the half term on a high. From Asda to Toby Carvery and Harvester, here is a full list of restaurants and supermarkets offering cheap dining deals.

Supermarkets

Asda cafes run a “Kids Eat for £1” deal all year round, with favourites like meatballs, fish fingers and chicken nuggets, which all come with free fruit. There is no need for adults to eat.

At Morrisons, children can eat for free when an adult spends £4.50 or more on a meal until 27 April. Kids and adults can also get a free bowl of cereal through a partnership with Kellogg’s.

Shops

Ikea children’s meals start from 95p between 11am and 5pm, with a main, fruit and soft drink. What’s even better is that some stores have a supervised play area which is free for an hour.

Dunelm will give children free meals when an adult spends £4 in its in-store cafes.

The Range cafes are offering free meals when an adult buys a main, including fish and chips, chicken goujons, and sandwiches, which all come with a drink and a piece of fruit.
