How many places can my kids eat free in Leicester?

There are seven verified venues currently active in Leicester. All are chain restaurants, spread mainly across LE1 postcodes in the city centre, with one site each in LE3 and LE4.

Do all the Leicester restaurants run their free children's offer all year?

Not all of them. Frankie & Benny's, Las Iguanas, and Zizzi currently limit their offers to school holiday periods. The remaining four — including Bistrot Pierre and Pizza Express — tend to run promotions more broadly, though it is always worth confirming directly with the venue.

Are the Leicester venues mostly pubs or restaurants?

Mostly restaurants. Sizzling Pubs is the one pub-format entry in the list. The other six are sit-down restaurant chains, which generally means table service and a fuller menu experience for families.

About Leicester

What this list covers

Sit-down Italian. Tex-Mex. French bistro. Leicester's seven venues are almost entirely restaurant chains rather than pub-kitchen operations, which shifts the feel of the evening considerably — you're looking at table service, proper menus, and a slightly more structured night out. Five of those seven sit inside LE1 postcodes, so the city centre does most of the heavy lifting here. Bistrot Pierre, Pizza Express, Pizza Hut, Sizzling Pubs, and four others give you genuine variety across cuisines and price points. Worth flagging: Frankie & Benny's, Las Iguanas, and Zizzi limit their free children's offers to term-time breaks and summer, rather than running them throughout the year. The other four tend to be more permissive. Check the individual listing before you commit to a booking.

Holiday-only chains in Leicester: Frankie & Benny's, Las Iguanas, Zizzi. 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.
