All the places kids eat free or for as little as £1 this Christmas

Christmas is an expensive time without the added pressure the cost-of-living crisis is having on millions of families across the country.

With most schools breaking up this week and money tighter than ever, we’ve pulled together a list of all the places where children can eat for free – or cheaply – during the Christmas holidays to help make eating out – and keeping the kids entertained - more affordable.

Make sure you always check the terms and conditions of each restaurant or café before you go to avoid disappointment or unwanted cost. You can do this on their websites or check with the restaurant staff before ordering.
