All the places kids can eat free this May half-term

The kids being off school is always expensive, to ease the pressure on your purse we’ve pulled together a list of all the places kids can eat free – or for £1 – this May half-term  

May half term usually brings some brighter weather. And while it’s usually cheaper to keep the kids entertained in the sun – think picnics, long walks, parks, and trips to the coast – it’s still pricey to keep them well fed.

Thankfully, some of the UK’s leading restaurants and cafes are offering free – or cheap - kids' meals.
