I have put together this post to try and help independent eateries as a lot of the chain restaurants that offer kids eat for £1/free are always getting circulated and get plenty of promotion. Hopefully this will give you some different options and to support small businesses too.
Please do also check directly with the venue for the Ts and Cs including any child age restrictions, if table bookings are required and if there’s any changes since publishing. I have hyperlinked the venues names below to take you to their website (or their social media page if they don’t have one).
