The summer holidays see many kids eating their parents out of house and home, so a number of chain restaurants and supermarkets have chipped in to offer deals where children can eat for free, or in some cases for £1.
Marks and Spencer cafes are one of the venues lending parents a hand and making sure no child goes without a meal this summer, as holiday hunger looms.
The retailer said they’ve had ‘record demand’ for their Kids Eat Free deal, and so, are extending the offer to run throughout the whole summer holiday season until Friday, September 2.

The offer normally runs for two weeks, but the extension takes this summer up to six.
Families will be able to get a free Kids’ Munch Menu breakfast until 11am or lunch between 11am and close when you spend £5 or more for adults. The £5 must be spent in a single transaction on food or drink.
The offer means families can save up to £3.95 per child, with a breakfast main and drink normally costing £2.95, and lunch, consisting of a main, snack and drink usually setting families back £3.95.
Some of the meals include pancakes with blueberries and honey for breakfast, or a ham and cheese toastie for lunch, with cheese and tomato pizza and sandwiches also on the menu.
All kids’ meals are also eligible for a free piece of fruit in the M&S cafes. The supermarket has reported having given away more than 35,000 pieces of free fruit in their cafes last week alone, and expect to give away around 200,000 pieces by the end of the summer.
