An Edinburgh eatery is giving a little something back to all those smashing Scottish grannies by offering a “Grans Eat Free” period during the October half-term break.
McLarens on the corner in Morningside will be introducing the scheme for the October holidays in an aim to encourage us all to celebrate our wonderful grandparents. Grandmothers and Grandads are often famous for spoiling their grandchildren, whether it is slipping a cheeky fiver into the palm of their hand or offering up sweet treats as a reward for staying behaved.
But McLarens feel that the favour should be returned this autumn with grandkids and their parents being given the opportunity to give back through a delicious meal. Grandparents will be able to choose a main meal that will be free of charge - excluding steak - providing that their little whippersnapper orders a main meal from the kids or a la carte menu.

McLarens is not only known for their scrumptious bacon cheeseburger and blackened salmon but also their thirst quenching cocktails. Having traditionally offered a kids eat free scheme in the past, the restaurant is understood to have wanted to turn the tables and pay tribute to the unsung heroes of the family.
The offer will be available between October 10 and October 21. A spokesperson for McLarens said: “This October Half-Term Break, McLarens on the Corner in Morningside, Edinburgh, is introducing a limited offer to celebrate grandparents with a "Grans Eat Free” deal throughout the October holidays.
“The family-friendly restaurant that believes in serving up sumptuous food, delicious cocktails, and a whole lot of love has created the offer as a thank you to the grandparents that will be home with the kids while they’re off from school.
“Grandparents are beloved for spoiling their grandchildren with love, affection, and all the treats mum usually doesn’t allow. It’s time that they get spoiled in return!
“Signature Group has decided to turn the tables, and instead of having kids eat free this half-term holiday, we’re giving the free meal to Gran. The deal was created to acknowledge the unsung heroes at the heads of our families that rarely get a day devoted to treating them with the same care that they exhibit each day.
“Including anything from a bacon cheeseburger for lunch to blackened salmon for dinner, grandparents can choose the entrée that suits their appetite for no charge for two weeks in October. Now, the kids can start pooling together their pocket money and get ready to pick up the bill for their meal, because this meal is on them.
“The limited offer will be available on weekdays between 10th and 21st October. One grandparent can receive a free main course per visit when they dine with their grandkids. Kids must also order a main dish from the children’s menu or main a la carte menu. Free main excludes steak. “
