Tips Before You Go
✔ Always check dates and details with the specific restaurant or café before visiting — offers can vary by location and may require booking, app downloads or minimum spends.
✔ Many offers apply only on specific weekdays or before a certain time (e.g., not valid evenings or Valentine’s Day).
✔ Supermarket cafés like Asda, Tesco and IKEA are excellent choices because they don’t require adult meals to be purchased for kids to eat cheaply or free.
