Kids eat free in Sheffield

Sheffield suits a relaxed mid-week tea or a holiday-week dinner out with the kids — but check the small print first, because the answer to whether a child eats free tonight depends heavily on which chain you walk into. Frankie and Benny's, Las Iguanas, Zizzi, Vintage Inns, and Hungry Horse all limit their free children's offer to term-break windows, so a random Tuesday in October lands differently to a random Tuesday in March. Sizzling Pubs, with seven sites across the city, give you the widest year-round spread; Pizza Express, with four, is a reliable fallback near the centre. Postcode S9 carries the heaviest concentration — ten venues — so the east of the city punches well above its weight here.

Holiday-only chains in Sheffield: Cambridge Street Collective, Champs Sports Bar & Grill, Cutlery Works, Frankie & Benny's, Zizzi. These quietly flip in for half-term and summer; outside the school holidays they drop off the list.
