FAQ
Questions parents ask
What does “kids eat free” actually mean?
At some places the kids’ meal is free; at others it’s a pound. There’s usually a rule about what the adult orders — every card spells it out before you tap through.
Do I need an account?
No. No account, no email — just tap and see who’s open.
How recent is this?
We re-check every venue within 14 days. Anything we can’t verify in that window quietly drops off the list.
Why only 10 minutes?
Because the answer at half-five on a Tuesday is the place you can actually get to. If the 10-minute radius turns up nothing, we’ll offer 20.
Does it run every night?
Most places do — pub chains especially. A few are weekdays only, school holidays only, or after-school only; the card tells you when before you go.
What if there’s nothing near me?
You’ll see a one-tap option to widen the search to 20 minutes. If there’s still nothing, fair enough — the kids will survive a takeaway.
What we mean by free
What we mean by free
Kids’ meals on the house when an adult orders for themselves. Some places want the adult to order a main course — the card will say so before you go.
Kids’ meals for a pound each, again when an adult orders for themselves. Same rule on adult spend where it applies — always on the card.
