Kids eat free in Cheshire West and Chester

Five sites sit in CH65, five more in CH1, and three in CH2 — that triangle tells you most of the action clusters around Chester and Ellesmere Port, with CW7 and CH66 adding a couple each further out. Altogether the venues listed across the council area are drawn from several dozen distinct chains. Hungry Horse runs four of them, Stonehouse Pizza and Carvery and Vintage Inns hold three apiece, and Bella Italia and Sizzling Pubs each cover two sites. Côte Brasserie, Farmhouse Inns, Pizza Express, Prezzo, and Slug and Lettuce each contribute one. A note worth keeping: Vintage Inns and Hungry Horse operate their kids-eat-free arrangements during school holidays only, not throughout the year, so the time of your visit shapes how many options are genuinely open to you.

Holiday-only chains in Cheshire West and Chester: Chiquito. These quietly flip in for half-term and summer; outside the school holidays they drop off the list.
