Eating at a restaurant of cafe is awesome. No cooking, no clearing up. Big win. But it can quickly add up and put a strain on your budget. Here's some tips for saving money at restaurants and cafés, including deals where kids eat free.

1. Research Kid-Friendly Restaurants: Start by looking for restaurants and cafés that are known for being kid-friendly. These establishments often offer special deals or promotions where children eat for free or at discounted prices. Check their websites or social media pages for current offers.

2. Kids Eat Free Deals: Many restaurants across the UK offer specific days or times when kids eat for free. Please check before you visit to see that the deal is still active, and for further terms and eligibility of the deal.

3. Sign Up for Loyalty Programs: Check if your favorite restaurants or café chains have loyalty programs or newsletters. By signing up, you can receive exclusive deals, discounts, and vouchers. Some establishments even offer birthday treats for members.

4, Early Bird and Lunch Specials: Take advantage of early bird and lunchtime specials offered by many restaurants. These are typically discounted menus available during specific hours. Enjoy the same great food at a lower price by dining a bit earlier or during off-peak hours.

5. Takeaway or Delivery: Consider ordering takeaway or delivery instead of dining in. Many restaurants offer special deals or discounts for takeaway orders, making it a convenient and cost-effective option. Check if your favorite restaurants have partnerships with delivery services for additional savings.

6. Voucher Websites and Apps: Explore voucher websites and apps, such as VoucherCodes and Groupon, for restaurant discounts and offers. These platforms often have deals specifically for dining out, including discounted meals or set menus.

7. Share Meals or Opt for Small Plates: If the portion sizes are generous, consider sharing meals with your family members or ordering a selection of small plates to share. This not only saves money but also allows everyone to sample a variety of dishes.

8. BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle): Find restaurants that allow you to bring your own alcoholic beverages. This way, you can enjoy your favorite drinks without the markup associated with purchasing them from the restaurant.

9. Special Occasion Offers: Keep an eye out for special occasion offers, such as birthdays, anniversaries, or holidays. Many restaurants run promotions during these times, offering discounts, complimentary items, or set menus.

10. Follow Restaurants on Social Media: Follow your favorite restaurants on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. They often share exclusive deals, limited-time offers, or last-minute discounts to their followers.
