Kids eat free 2024: From Pizza Express and Pizza Hut to Tesco and Bill's – full list
The cost of living crisis and summer holidays don't mix particularly well, but a number of supermarkets and restaurant chains are offering free or cheap meals for families to tuck into.
There's a range of choice, from pizza and pasta to cereal and sandwiches. And while many chains launch offers for the summer holidays, there are still some deals available after the schools go back too.
