About Cardiff

What this list covers

The first thing worth understanding about Cardiff's 27 participating venues is that they don't all run on the same clock. A core of chains — Pizza Express across its three city sites, Côte Brasserie at two locations, Slug & Lettuce, ASK Italian, Sizzling Pubs — keep the offer running all year. Then there's a separate group that activates only when term ends: Harvester, Las Iguanas, Frankie & Benny's, BrewDog, Hungry Horse, and Vintage Inns flip the switch for the holidays and fold it away again once September arrives. That rhythm shapes everything. Plan a midweek February outing and you're drawing from the year-round pool. Hit August and the full roster opens up across postcodes from CF10 in the centre out to CF3 and CF5.

Holiday-only chains in Cardiff: Frankie & Benny's, Harvester, Hungry Horse, Las Iguanas. These quietly flip in for half-term and summer; outside the school holidays they drop off the list.

Verified by the kidseatfree.co.uk editorial team. Every venue here passes a 14-day freshness check; if a chain stops running its offer, it silently drops off the list.

    Year-round options include Pizza Express, which has three Cardiff sites, plus Côte Brasserie, Slug & Lettuce, ASK Italian, and Sizzling Pubs. These chains don't restrict the offer to term breaks, so they're available on a wet Wednesday in November just as much as in August.
