With Halloween falling right in the middle of half term this year, UK parents are facing a tricky balancing act — keeping kids entertained while tackling the ever-rising cost of living. But Asda is swooping in with a sweet (and spooky) surprise that won’t leave your wallet haunted.
Free Meals for Kids in Fancy Dress
On Halloween day (31st October), children who visit any Asda café in fancy dress can enjoy the retailer’s popular Kids Eat for £1 meal deal — completely FREE. Yes, that’s right — free meals for every little witch, ghost or vampire who turns up in costume.
Even better, the £1 meal deal continues throughout the rest of half term, helping families stretch their budgets while still keeping the fun (and food) flowing.
Since launching in June 2022, Asda’s initiative has already served over six million meals to children under 16 across its 205 cafés nationwide. There’s no minimum spend and no need to buy an adult meal, making it one of the most affordable and accessible family-friendly offers on the high street.
What’s on the Menu?
The Kids Eat for £1 menu offers nine delicious options, from classic hot favourites like chicken nuggets, fish fingers, penne pasta, and pizza, to a cold Pick & Mix deal with a sandwich, drink, fruit and a sweet treat.
It’s an easy win for parents looking to feed hungry trick-or-treaters without the added fright of inflated prices.
