Hopefully, the weather will be on our side this summer (it's not started brilliantly), and we can all take our kids out in the sunny weather.

Most of these kids offers require you to purchase an adult meal before the kids can get a discounted meal, so it's important to bear this in mind because if you are trying to save money, it's probably going to be cheaper to buy the ingredients for a kids meal than it is to purchase an adult’s main meal to be then able to get cheap children’s meal deal, however, if you're going to eat out anyway, then it makes sense to swap to a restaurant offering great value meals for kids, as this is a great way to save some money!
🔥 Don't forget you can buy gift cards from services such as JamDoughnut for many of the restaurants and chains mentioned below. These cards will earn you cashback, making the cost of eating out even cheaper, which is very useful if you are going to a restaurant where an adult will need to pay full price for a meal.
