Stretching your Easter budget further has never looked so easy. From supermarket cafés to big-name restaurant chains, there are plenty of places where little ones can tuck in for free – or close to it – while you enjoy a sit-down meal.

Supermarket café savers

At Asda Cafés, kids can eat for £1 all day, every day, with no adult minimum spend – choose from hot meals or a cold pick-and-mix plate. Dobbies Garden Centres run a £1 kids’ deal when you order an adult breakfast or main, with the offer available daily until 11.30am for breakfast and again between 12pm and 3pm. Over at Dunelm Pausa Cafés, children eat free all day with every £4 spent in the café, including a kids’ main, drink and two snacks. Morrisons Cafés also keep it simple: one free kids’ meal when an adult spends £5 or more on a main, any day of the week. Tesco is offering one free Kids Hot Meal Deal, Kids Breakfast or Kids Pick ‘n’ Mix deal in the Easter break (excluding weekends) with any adult purchase when they scan their Tesco Clubcard. Sainsbury’s Cafes offer a “Kids Eat for £1” deal during the Easter holidays (and school holidays). One child can eat a hot main meal or lunch bag for £1 with the purchase of an adult hot main meal costing over £5.20, starting from 11.30am daily.

High-street and pub heroes

Caribbean-inspired Turtle Bay dishes up free kids’ meals when an adult spends £15 or more, while ASK Italian offers up to two free children’s meals via its ASK Perks app with an adult main from 27 March to 19 April 2026. At Bella Italia, kids aged 2–11 can enjoy three courses and a drink for free or £1, Sunday to Thursday, with a paying adult.

Craft beer favourite BrewDog also runs a kids‑eat‑free deal with adult meals from 28 March to 22 April 2026 – simply select the offer when you book.

More family-friendly deals

French bistro Café Rouge offers free kids’ meals with an adult main from 12pm–4pm, while Franco Manca gives one free kids’ pizza (under‑12s) with every full‑priced adult main Monday to Thursday. Frankie & Benny’s is back with kids‑eat‑free on an adult main between 30 March and 10 April 2026 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. At Farmhouse Inns, up to two children can eat free (plus ice cream) with each adult main from Monday to Friday, 30 March–17 April.

Big‑name chefs get in on the action too: selected Gordon Ramsay Restaurants let kids 10 and under enjoy a free main from the Ramsay Kids Menu when adults order two courses, while Las Iguanas treats under‑12s to a free main, two sides and dessert when you join My Iguanas and order an adult main. Vegans are covered at Purezza, where under‑10s get a free mini pizza with every full‑paying adult, and Marco Pierre White Restaurants offer free children’s mains during school holidays with each adult à la carte main (times vary by site). OK Diners, Sizzling Pubs, Slug & Lettuce, The Real Greek, YO! Sushi and Zizzi all add to the mix with kids‑eat‑free or £1 deals on selected days and dates – ideal for mixing a treat with a saving.

Breakfast bargains

Start the day smart at Beefeater, Brewers Fayre, Table Table or Whitbread Inns, where up to two kids under 16 eat breakfast free with every adult unlimited breakfast. Families staying at Premier Inn get the same perk, while Travelodge offers kids’ breakfasts for £1 with a paying adult at Bar Café sites. Look out, too, for Lounges’ “Little Loungers” holiday breakfasts, where cereals, fruit and toast are free for children at participating venues.
