Restaurants around the UK are offering free or reduced meals to children to help parents with the cost of living during the summer holidays.
With energy bills rising, petrol prices skyrocketing, and even our food shop bills going up in price, many families struggling with their bills, let alone able to pay to entertain their kids over the break from school.
The businesses below are cutting prices drastically – or completely – to allow kids to eat out this summer. If you don’t see a business on the list that’s in your local area, how about asking a local cafe or restaurant if they wanted to do something similar?
