The cost of living is rising, with inflation now at a 40-year high, and families will be feeling the financial pinch even more over the summer holidays.
Families will be feeling the pressure as the kids are back at home, and with food prices rising, popular restaurants and cafes are offering a helping hand. Chains such as Brewers Fayre, Bella Italia and Asda Cafe are offering children the chance to eat for just £1, or even for free, as long as there is an accompanying adult.
Other supermarkets including Morrisons are also allowing kids to eat free, and Marks and Spencer have previously run school holiday offers so it's worth keeping an eye out on social media for any announcements, as Liverpool Echo writes.
