Today is A-Level results day - and what better way to celebrate than enjoying a freebee?
From churros to doughballs to a bottle of bubbly, several UK restaurants are offering students who are receiving their results a free meal, side or dessert.
While there will undoubtedly be nerves and anticipation in the morning, the prospect of eating for free that afternoon can offer students a guaranteed perk whatever is inside their envelope.
Simply by showing a copy of their results, they can grab a bargain at some of the UK’s most popular high street chains.
Nando’s
Nando's - famous for its Peri Peri style chicken - is giving out a free quarter chicken or starter.
To get the discount, you will need to spend over £7 on food and visit a Nando's restaurant to eat-in.
The deal is not available on delivery or click and collect orders.
You have to be student between the ages of 14 and 19 to claim the freebie - keep in mind you may be asked to show ID and a copy of your results.
The freebie is worth £4.75 - the price of a quarter chicken - and is available in the 450 stores.
You could also opt for a starter of halloumi sticks and dip, humous with Peri drizzle or sweet potato wedges without having to spend a penny.
The deal will only be available between 11am and 11pm on the days that results are handed out at schools and colleges nationwide.
Orders must be made at the till and the discount will be added by a team member.
BTEC, Scotland Highers, and National 5 students are eligible as well.
The same deal will be offered to GCSE students on their results day a week later on August 25.

Pizza Express
All students can sit back and enjoy some of Pizza Express dough balls for free today.
It is available in all 343 Pizza Express restaurants across the UK.
However, the freebie is stock dependent and so arriving earlier rather than later may be needed to ensure you get your dough balls.
Students will need to present official paper or email results at the till to redeem the deal, as well as being signed up to the Unidays app.
Alex Gallagher, Chief Strategy Officer at UNiDAYS, said: “We want to celebrate and reward the effort and hard work of all students across the country - no matter what grades they’ve achieved or whatever their next step might be.
“Pizza Express has saved you some dough-balls, and we have saved you some dough!”
Moonpig
Between Wednesday, August 17 and Thursday, August 18, Moonpig is giving away a free bottle of prosecco with seelcted flower bouquets.
Customers simply choose a bouquet or plant from ten blooms within the ‘Free Bubbles with Flowers’ selection and Moonpig will add a free bottle of Virgin Wines Prodezzo Prosecco to your order.

Las Iguanas
For dessert, students can head to the Mexican and Brazilian restaurant chain Las Iguanas.
Each student can get three free churros by showing proof of your results and ID.
You do not have to purchase anything else - although, if you do, you can use the regular student discount.
The deal is not available in Center Parcs restaurants.
Frankie and Benny’s
Frankie & Benny's is offering students the opportunity to celebrate their results with a free ten inch San Francisco style sourdough Margherita Pizza (with a vegan option also available).
This usually comes with the price tag £8.90.
All students need to do is show their UCAS results and purchase a soft drink that is just £3.
The deal cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotion.
Street Pizza Southwark
Unfortunately, this final deal won’t be for everyone.
But, for London-based students, you can grab a free pizza at Gordon Ramsay ’s restaurant in Southwalk.
From 5pm, you can get a free pizza that is usually priced at £16pp.
This includes classic margherita, pepperoni, charred aubergine, corn and chorizo or the daily special.
