KEEN to take the kids out to eat this summer holidays, but you need to do so on a discount?

The summer holidays can be a challenging time to keep the kids busy and even more so, on a budget.

Luckily though, there are several businesses helping parents and carers spent less on eating out this summer.

So we thought we’d lend you a hand and outline the different places where your kids can eat for free or get a deal with their meal.

PAW Patrol meal deal

Marston’s has joined forces with Paramount Pictures to launch an exclusive PAW Patrol meal deal in line with the scheduled release of PAW Patrol: The Movie launching in UK cinemas on August 13.

The offer at the Peacock, Skymaster and the Trigger Pond is across the whole of August and runs alongside the pub’s children’s main menu and includes limited-edition PAW Patrol branded merchandise including six collectable PAW Patrol character masks and activity sheets.

Jo Jackson, Senior Marketing Manager at Marston’s said: “We all know how much kids love PAW Patrol, so we can only imagine how much fun this will be for them whilst all enjoying a family meal out.”

M&S

You can bag one free kids meal deal when you spend over £3.50 in the Westbrook café.

It comes just in time for the summer holidays as well offer runs from July 26 – August 6.

Morrisons cafe

From 3pm to close every day, when you purchase one adult meal, a free meal from the kids menu can also come with it at Morrisons on Greenall’s Avenue.

A kids meal includes piece of fruit and Tropicana kids orange or apple drink or bottle of water.

Sizzling pubs

On Monday to Friday between 3pm and 7pm, kids eat for £1 with an adult main meal at a number of Warrington pubs.

The Red Lion in Penketh, Cherry Tree in Culcheth, the Hare and Hounds in Lowton are all offering the deal.

Brewers Fayre

The Winwick road pub allows for an unlimited breakfast where kids can eat free.

So, what better way to fill them up for the day?

Tesco

When an adult spends £3.50 at the Tesco on Winwick Road, children will be offered free meals between July 19 until September 1.

The free offer for kids enables them to pick between the Pick N Mix meal deal which costs £2.75 and includes a sandwich, soft drink, piece of fruit and two snacks.

The alternative, a hot meal deal which is usually £2.85, includes main course choices such as baked chicken goujons, fish fingers or mac and cheese.

Jo Barnes, head of marketing and food development at Tesco Café, said: “The summer holidays are the perfect opportunity for some quality family time and a little treat.”
