FAQ

Common questions

  • Which chains run kids-eat-free during half-term?

    Harvester, Bill's, Zizzi, Frankie & Benny's and Las Iguanas flip their family offers on for English half-term weeks. Pizza Express, Pizza Hut, Toby Carvery and Sizzling Pubs run year-round, so they're available across half-term too.

  • Are the dates the same in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?

    Mostly yes for May and October half-term — the dates line up across all four nations. Scotland follows its own calendar for the February break and the October week, and Northern Ireland has its own variations too. The calendar above shows the window in each region when it differs.

  • Do I need to book?

    No accounts, nothing to download. We link straight to the chain's own booking page where one exists, and to Google Maps for directions where it doesn't. Some chains require an in-app booking — those are flagged on the chain page.
