Kids eat free in Arun

Settle in, because the dominant texture here is pub dining. Five of the seven verified venues are pub-group sites — Vintage Inns alone runs three of them, with Sizzling Pubs accounting for two more. Harvester and Hungry Horse each bring one site. That pub-heavy character shapes the experience: think relaxed booth seating, broad menus, and bar-side ordering rather than hushed table service. Worth noting that Vintage Inns, Harvester, and Hungry Horse run their free children's meals exclusively during school holidays, not across the whole year, so timing your visit matters. Sizzling Pubs operates differently — check individual venues. Postcodes spread across BN17, BN18, BN12, PO21, and PO22, which tells you these sites reach both the Littlehampton and Bognor Regis ends of the district.

Holiday-only chains in Arun: Harvester, Lounges. These quietly flip in for half-term and summer; outside the school holidays they drop off the list.
