Kids eat free at Subway this summer!

If you’re tearing your hair out wondering what to do with the kids, and where on earth to feed them, you won’t be alone.

By this point, the novelty of lie-ins has probably worn off, the kids are looking for their next adventure, and you may be wondering how many more snacks you can possibly be expected to provide.

If this sounds familiar, you could always head to Subway, where you can pick up a free Little Subs kids pack when you purchase any footlong Sub.

The kids pack comes with a customisable, freshly prepared 4-inch Sub, a snack and a drink.

You can customise the Sub to suit your child, too, so whether they’re a straightforward ham-and-cheese fan or want to build their own combination, there’s plenty of choice.

It’s one less meal to plan, one less thing to buy at the supermarket and, most importantly, one less ‘what are we having for lunch?’ conversation to have.

Need something to do after lunch?

Of course, once they’ve eaten, you’ve still got the matter of keeping the kiddies entertained.

If you’re running out of ideas for days out, Subway’s Fresh Moves programme could give you another option.

The programme aims to help communities across the UK lead more active lifestyles, and Subway has teamed up with Skateboard GB to get families and young people involved in skateboarding.

Six new skateparks have already opened across the UK, with the partnership continuing this summer with free skate events and lessons designed to get families on board.

So, if you’re looking for something a little different to do with the kids, you could grab lunch at Subway and then head off to try your hand at skateboarding.

Just remember the helmets!

And Subway isn’t the only place offering free kids’ food.

If your holiday budget is starting to feel the strain after weeks of days out, ice creams, snacks and meals on the go, we’ve rounded up all the places where kids can eat for free (or nearly free) this summer.
