M&S brings back ‘kids eat for free’ cafe deal for October half-term - how it works

Marks and Spencer has brought back its popular “kids eat for free” deal across its cafes for the October half term.

The offer sees kids get a free main, snack and drink, worth £3.95, when an adult spends £5 in an M&S cafe.

They’re also entitled to a free piece of fruit with any cafe transaction.

The free food is from the Kids’ Munch Menu. Hot mains include pancakes, jacket potato, pizza, cheese and tomato pasta and toasties.

M&S customers will find the deal in over 340 of the posh supermarket's cafes.

“Kids eat for free” will run from October 17 until October 28 in England and Scotland, and October 31 to November 4 in Wales and Northern Ireland.

Sharry Cramond, marketing and hospitality director at M&S said: “We know customers are feeling the pinch at the moment so we’ve worked really hard to make sure we’re not only offering families a great value and welcoming meal in our cafes over the half term holidays, but a completely delicious one too, even for the fussiest of little eaters.

“Our kids menu is all freshly made with the best quality M&S ingredients, from vitamin-D enriched bread to British outdoor bred pork sausages.

“After all this is not just any free kids’ meal, this is an M&S free kids’ meal. We can’t wait to hear what they think.”

Tesco is also bringing back its "kids eat free" scheme across its cafes over the October half-term to help families during the cost of living crisis.

The supermarket first introduced the initiative in the summer and has announced it will be returning again for the October school break.

Parents can claim one free kids' meal worth up to £3.25 when they spend at least 60p.

However, you must be a Clubcard holder to be able to take part in the scheme.

The freebie runs on weekdays from October 17 to 28 in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland in 311 Tesco cafes.

It comes after Asda announced a new £1 cafe deal for struggling pensioners this winter.

The "winter warmer" deal consists of soup, roll and unlimited tea or coffee for just £1 for all customers over the age of 60.

The offer will be available across all 205 of its cafes and will run every day through November and December.
