As the school summer holidays get underway, dining out with the entire family can be an expensive treat – but it doesn’t have to be that way for much longer.
We’ve spied plenty of handy ‘kids eat free’ deals at major restaurant chains across the UK, including TGI Fridays, Toby Carvery and Jamie’s Italian, making life easier for parents looking to save some extra pennies.
If you don’t fancy any of the eateries offering free meals, a few other restaurants are also offering kids meals for £1 this summe, such as Carluccios and Frankie and Bennys. We’ve also listed those out below.

When you’re planning a fun day out or date night the last thing you want to do is map out every last detail, down to where you’ll be grabbing lunch or dinner. But doing so can save you a small fortune off your bill.
There are plenty of websites online to look for great dining out deals – you just need to know where to look.
Buyagift.co.uk and Virgin Experiences always offer discounted restaurant offers for a wide range of locations. Groupon, Lastminute.com and Wowcher are also great online resources for finding local deals too.
If you’re an O2 customer, keep the O2 Priority app on hand as they also offer great value foodie deals too.
If you regularly dine out it may be worth investing in a Tastecard which promises to get you either 2 for 1 deals or 50% off at over 6000 UK restaurants. You can try it for 60 days for just a £1 over the summer with this promotional code: SUMMERPOUND17.

5 top tips for saving money when eating out
1. Don’t get expensive fizzy drinks – they can really add up. Sticking to tap water can save you a lot of money, and mean that you have more cash to spend on your delicious food.
2. If you do want a drink, go during Happy Hour, where you can get 2 for 1 offers on alcohol.
3. Make use of voucher codes where possible, sites such as Savoo, Voucherbox and HotUKdeals . You can also get student discount at most restaurants and takeaways if you’re studying.
4. Check the menu beforehand so you know what you’re ordering before you’re put under pressure, or order three times the amount because you’re so hungry.
5. Sign up for newsletters to make sure that you’re always up to date on their latest offers and check online for cash back offers from sites such as Quidco and TopCashback before you leave. Quidco will even offer you £10 just for referring a friend.
