Keep the kids full for free or as little as £1 this October half term

October half term is here next week. Even if you’re not planning a break away, just keeping the kids entertained and fed can be costly. We’ve pulled together a list of all the places where children eat for free – or cheaply – this autumn to help make eating out 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.
