Dear Parents

Savings on eating out initiatives:
Family & Kids
Save money on eating out during the school holidays with these meal deals in restaurants across the UK – School’s almost out for the summer this year, which means many of us will be thinking of ways to keep the children entertained, well-fed and active.

With money feeling tighter than ever thanks to the cost of living crisis, we’ve created a handy guide to places that let kids eat for free or just £1 over the summer school holidays, making eating out as a family easier and more affordable.
