With half-term looming, many families are looking for affordable ways to treat themselves to a meal out. While it's often assumed that 'kids eat free' offers are the best value, a closer look at the numbers reveals that this isn't always the case. In fact, some deals can leave you out of pocket, especially if you're a large family.
After crunching the numbers, we've found that it's possible to feed a family of four for as little as £7. This is thanks to a combination of discounted meals, kids' menus, and savvy use of vouchers and apps.
One of the best deals we've found is at the popular family restaurant, Chiquito. For £7.99, you can get two adult meals and two kids' meals, which works out at just £1.75 per person. This is a fantastic value, especially considering the quality of the food.
Another great option is the chain restaurant, Pizza Express. Their kids' meals start at just £4.95, and they often have deals on family meals that include a free dessert for the kids. With a bit of planning, you can easily feed your family for under £20.
Of course, these deals are subject to change, and it's always worth checking the restaurant's website or social media for the latest offers. But with a little bit of research, you can find affordable and tasty meals for your family to enjoy.
