While the kids are off in February money can soon start to add up, so here’s a handy list of all the freebies you can get while dining out with the family this half term
As we enter February half term, families are looking out for the best deals to save some cash, and it turns out a lot of restaurants have got just the thing – delicious deals.
As of February 16, most kids across the UK are off for a week and head back to school on February 23. It’s this period of time you want to keep your eyes peeled for deals – from pizzas to breakfast, steakhouses and cafes, there’s a whole range of places offering unmissable discounts.
Many supermarkets, restaurants and other eateries have teamed up to take off some of the load this half term by offering a ‘kids eat free’ deal.
Some are offering the chance for little ones to dine for as little as £1, and others are just offering sizeable discounts on an already pricey day out.
Angus Steakhouse
A popular spot for a steak night, Angus Steakhouse is offering for children under eight to dine out at its restaurants and enjoy a complimentary meal. The free meal from the kids’ menu must be ordered alongside a full-paying adult.
The deal is available every day of the week from 12pm up until 5pm. Along with their meal, they can enjoy an activity sheet and some crayons to keep them occupied during waiting times.
Asda
At Asda supermarkets, kids can eat for just £1 all day, every day, in their cafes. There is no requirement for adults to eat in order to receive the discount, and this applies during every half term this year.
On top of this, children are able to receive a free piece of fruit, such as an apple, pear or banana, alongside their £1 hot kids’ meal.
Bella Italia
From Monday 16 February to Friday 20 February children can eat Italian food at the chain for free all day. All that is required is one adult’s main course is ordered per free kids meal, which is made up of a starter, main, dessert and drink.
Children must be between the ages of two and 11 to participate.
Bill’s
When eating out with up to two children, you can secure them both free meals when an adult orders any main, at any time of the day. This deal only applies at Bill’s restaurants between Monday 17 February and Friday 28.
Coconut Tree
Throughout half term kids can eat entirely for free at Coconut Tree restaurants, although this must be when accompanied by a paying adult. The children must be under 10.
Farmhouse Inns
Across both Farmhouse Inns and Farmhouse Kitchen, up to two kids can eat completely free on weekdays from 16 to 27 February. All that’s needed is for one adult to buy a main meal, breakfast or carvery, and the kids’ meals will be on the house – as well as a free scoop of delicious ice cream.
