Kids eat free in Leeds

If you are planning a relaxed midweek dinner with children in tow, Leeds delivers a solid spread of options across the city and its suburbs. Check the small print first, though. Several chains here — Las Iguanas, Zizzi, Harvester, and Hungry Horse among them — only run their free children's offer during school holidays, so the timing of your visit genuinely changes what is available. The postcode picture is weighted towards the centre: LS1 alone accounts for nine venues. Toby Carvery has four sites across the council area, making it the single biggest presence, while Pizza Hut runs three. Vintage Inns covers three locations too, though it falls into that school-holiday-only bracket. Thirty verified venues in total, eighteen distinct chains. For a no-fuss Sunday roast or a pizza night that does not require a reservation three weeks out, Leeds has enough range to suit most families.

Holiday-only chains in Leeds: Chaophraya, Harvester, Meanwood Tavern, Nyla's, The White Swan Yeadon. These quietly flip in for half-term and summer; outside the school holidays they drop off the list.
