Tesco brings back free kids' meals in its cafés for October half-term – here's how to claim them

Tesco is renewing its 'Kids Eat Free' scheme in its cafés 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, but must spend at least 60p on a piece of fresh fruit.

You must also be a Clubcard holder to be able to take part in the scheme. The offers runs on weekdays from October 17 to 28 in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, applying to 311 Tesco cafés. It will also run between October 31 and November 4 in Wales.

Tesco says its cafes gave away free meals for more than 260,000 children during the summer holidays, reports The Mirror. Alessandra Bellini, chief customer officer at Tesco, previously said: "Kids Eat Free is just one of the ways we’re helping our customers to spend less at Tesco.

"We know that costs can add up over the school holidays, so offering free meals to children with any item purchased at our cafés for an adult, is one of the ways we are supporting parents during this time."
