Kids eat free in North Tyneside

Four of the eight venues here carry the Sizzling Pubs name, which tells you something useful straight away: this is a corner of the North East where a relaxed pub-dinner format dominates the kids-eat-free picture. That consistency has a practical upside — the menu format, the portion logic, the atmosphere — it is broadly predictable, which matters when you have a tired seven-year-old in tow. Alongside those four, you have a Toby Carvery, a Village Hotels Pub and Grill, a Hungry Horse, and Hinnies. The last two are worth a separate note: both run their free children's offer during school holidays only, rather than across the full year. Postcodes spread across NE12 out to NE28, so coverage leans coastal and suburban rather than concentrated in one strip.

Holiday-only chains in North Tyneside: Lounges, Village Hotels Pub & Grill. These quietly flip in for half-term and summer; outside the school holidays they drop off the list.
