Where can kids eat free after a welly wander?

With budgets tight it's important that they stretch - especially in the school holidays. That's why we've been looking around to see where you can get the best meal deals for kids for the school holidays at the end of the month. Some places offer free meals for kids, others for a heavily discounted price. 

Fueling the family without it costing the earth is something we are quite happy to explore.  You will of course have to check all the terms and conditions, but here are some we found that are very useful, from supermarkets to restaurant chains and pubs. And if you discover any, not on the list - do let us know so we can add them.
