We know that keeping kids occupied and keeping costs down during the summer holidays can seem like an impossible task. Planning family days out or fun holidays and trips abroad can easily get very expensive, so it's really great to see that so many restaurants, cafés and pubs across the UK are offering free and low-cost kids meals this summer.

We've rounded up all of the places that kids can eat for free, or for £1 or less, across the UK over summer 2024, and included the days, dates and times that the offers are available.

Do keep in mind that these offers may not be available in every location and probably won't be available in conjunction with any other discount or offer. Always check the website before booking or visiting.
