Kids eat free all week at The Café in Mansfield and Ashfield Tesco stores this summer

Tesco is extending its Kids Eat Free scheme to include weekends for the first time this summer, allowing thousands more families to enjoy free meals for their children.

The café and the coffee shop scheme will run seven days a week in more than 330 participating Tesco stores, including Mansfield and Mansfield Jubilee Extra until 1 September.

The Café and The Coffee Shop in Tesco will be offering one free kids hot meal deal, kids breakfast or kids pick ‘n’ mix deal with any full price adult purchase when they scan their Tesco Clubcard.

The adult purchase could be something as small as an apple costing just 65 pence.

And with no limit to the number of kid’s meals you can redeem, families of all sizes can benefit too.

This summer, Tesco is also cutting the full prices of children’s meals in The Café and The Coffee Shop, supported by the Government’s decision to slash VAT across children's meals, activities, and days out as part of their Great British Summer Savings.

Tesco is also bringing back Free Fruit for Kids for the summer.

Until August 30, children will be able to pick up free apples at checkouts in more than 800 large Tesco stores and 77 of its large express stores.

Click & Collect customers will also be given free apples for their children at selected stores.

Through its Free Fruit and Veg for Schools programme, Tesco is also supporting children’s nutrition all year round.

This year saw more than 500 schools receive free fruit and veg to help pupils get more of their five-a-day.

Since its inception in 2024, 15.7m portions of fruit and veg have been donated.

To help with the cost of keeping the kids entertained and family days out over the summer, customers can exchange their Clubcard vouchers with Tesco Reward Partners, including family favourites such as PizzaExpress and Cineworld.

Claire De Silva, head of communities at Tesco, said: “We know that household budgets can be really stretched, especially over the long summer holiday, so offering free meals to children during this time is just one of the ways we can support families.”
