Family meals - they're (more often than not) a source of merriment, joy and congenial company, but can sometimes pull on those purse strings just a little too hard, especially if you've got black holes where your children should be.
But, you're in luck, there's plenty of places across the UK who let kids eat for FREE! Here goes...
Every week, Monday - Friday from 4pm, kids under the age of 16 eat for FREE when you spend £4 in their cafe! Perfect for a little stop off when you're taking the kids home from school.
There's also baby food pouches for the really little ones as well as baby food making facilities. Also, due to its relaxed atmosphere, it's also breast-feeding friendly.
Morrisons are also purveyors in free meals for little ones, with a moreish menu of kiddie favourites available for absolutely nothing from 3pm on weekdays. All you need to do is spend £4.50 yourself, and you get a kids main meal for free at Morrisons.
Treat them to tasty pizza, penne bolognese, sausage & Yorkshire pudding, fish fingers, and lots more!
Until 10.30am everyday, if you buy yourself a Premier Inn Breakfast (£9.950) from a Beefeater Grill Restaurant, up to two under-16s eat for FREE!
They can choose from eggs how they like them, toast, hash browns, sausages & beans, as well as fruit, cereal, yoghurt and fresh juices. Delicious!
Like the offer above, you kids eat breakfast for FREE any day of the week until 10.30am if you purchase breakfast (£9.50) at one of their restaurants. Kiddies can get all the usual breakfast treats, like bacon, eggs and all that lot, as well as freshly baked pastries.
This is a fantastic offer, it would be a waste not to use it!
This, as the name suggests, Greek restaurant offer families FREE kids meals for those under 12, including a drink and luxury ice cream/sorbet, when you spend £10 at their eatery on Sundays.
For this offer, you can choose chicken, lamb or beef meatballs, halloumi, OR a 3-piece children's mezze selection - it sure will be a treat for the tastebuds!

While this isn't entirely free, they market it as so and, let's be honest, it's still a hard bargain to beat. With each adult main meal purchased, a child can get a free kids main meal! This includes piccolo and grande meals, so you're sorted whatever their appetite.
Right, that's it for now - hope you all enjoy your free grub!
