Much as we love the summer holidays, we’re less keen on six weeks of sorting out almost every meal and snack for the whole family. Not only can it feel like you’re a human vending machine, it can also get expensive, especially if you’re going out. Picnics are great to save money, but sometimes it’s nice to hand over the cooking and clearing up to someone else. That’s where the ever-popular kids eat free (or cheap) deals come in, and there are a few in and around York that are worth checking out. Here’s our pick of the best kids eat free deals in York this summer. Keep them up your sleeve if you’re in the city during the holidays (which we hope you will be as there’s so much going on!).
