“We know that costs can add up over the school holidays, so offering free meals to children with any item purchased at our cafés for an adult, is one of the ways we are supporting parents during this time.”

Are any other supermarkets offering a similar deal?

Rival supermarket Asda is offering kids a hot meal for £1 at its cafés this summer, with no minimum spend for adults.

The discount is available all day every day from 25 July until 4 September in England and Wales.
