Thousands of teenagers across England and Wales are eagerly awaiting to find out their GCSE results

On Thursday 22 August, 16-year-olds will either be rejoicing or consoling themselves after opening their result envelopes.

Thankfully, it’s a good thing several restaurants are offering a variety of discounts and freebies to mark the occasion and lift students’ spirits.

Eateries including Nando’s and Chiquito are launching special deals for those receiving their results.

From free ice cream sundaes to chicken breasts, here is a roundup of the best food and drink deals on GCSE results day:

Nando’s
