There are lots of great places to eat in London with kids but feeding a family can be expensive. Fortunately, there are also lots of really good restaurants and cafes where kids can eat for free or where £1 meals are offered.
So, as you enjoy the October half term in London, here’s my pick of the best restaurants where kids eat free in London.
Where can kids eat free in London?
The following restaurants are where you can save money eating out during the school holidays all the while keeping hungry kids happy!
Eligibility varies according to each restaurant but with most restaurants offers apply to children under 12 years old.
The majority of restaurants listed offer their free meal deals over the school holidays and in London. There are some, however, that offer kids eat free deals throughout the year.
It’s also worth remembering that some of the deals aren’t available on bank holidays so do check before you book.
Don’t forget, if you are looking for ways to save money then we have lots of idea on cheap days out in London here.
