Eating out is expensive at the best of times, but it’s even more difficult when the school holidays wipe out any spare cash you may have had.
Luckily, there are some places that try to help parents a little over the summer by letting the kids eat for FREE or just a pound.
Not only restaurants offer the offer, many supermarkets are also involved. So if you’re all hungry for the big store, no need to wait to get home to feed the kids.
