Kids eat free in Plymouth

The first thing worth clocking about Plymouth is the split between chains that run year-round and those that only open their kids-eat-free window during the holidays. Pizza Hut anchors the year-round column with four sites across the city, and Pizza Express adds two more reliable options that don't vanish in term time. Then there's a separate group — Frankie & Benny's, Las Iguanas, Harvester, and others — whose free-for-children arrangements are tied exclusively to holiday periods. Eighteen venues in total, spread across PL1 and PL4 at the centre, out to PL6 and PL7 in the suburbs. Plan around term time and the list shortens considerably. Plan around a half-term week and the full spread opens up.

Holiday-only chains in Plymouth: Frankie & Benny's, Harvester, Marco Pierre White Steakhouse, Zizzi. These quietly flip in for half-term and summer; outside the school holidays they drop off the list.
