October 22, 2024 (press release) –
** England: 23rd Oct – 3rd Nov / Wales: 30th Oct – 3rd Nov / Scotland: 16th Oct – 20th Oct / Northern Ireland: 30th Oct – 3rd Nov **
Tesco has announced it will be bringing back its Kids Eat Free scheme to its 310 cafés across the UK over the October half term.
The scheme will run on weekdays in cafés between the following dates:
- England: Start 23rd Oct – Finish 3rd Nov
- Wales: Start 30th October – Finish 3rd Nov
- Scotland: Start 16th Oct – Finish 20th Oct
- Northern Ireland: Start 30th Oct – Finish 3rd Nov
The supermarket’s cafes will be offering one free Kids Hot Meal Deal, Kids Breakfast or Kids Pick ‘n’ Mix deal with each item bought by an adult from as little as 60p when showing their Tesco Clubcard at the till.
Popular menu items include beans or avocado on toast, fish fingers, baked chicken goujons or a sandwich. Hot main meals include a vegetable side dish, and the sandwich pick n mix includes a piece of fresh fruit and two snacks, so there’s something healthy and satisfying to feed hungry children from breakfast until dinner.
Jason Tarry, Tesco UK CEO, 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.”
Kids Eat Free is just one of the many ways that Tesco is helping families spend less. Other ways include its Aldi Price Match, which matches the price of over 600 products to Aldi, including both Tesco own brand products and big brands.
To help with the cost of half-term, customers can also exchange their Clubcard vouchers with Tesco Reward Partners, including a number of new ones such as Twycross Zoo, Hobbledown, as well as family favourites such as Pizza Express and Cineword. A full list of all partners can be found here.
