‘Tis the season to be jolly indeed in bonnie Edinburgh, where local eateries and shops are spreading Christmas cheer with some fantastic offers for the little ones to feast for free or for a mere quid! It’s like a special present from Santa himself to help families save a few bob during this costly time of year.

First on our culinary tour of Christmas delights is Morrison’s, where youngsters can devour a free meal all day, every day with a minimum spend of £4.49. That’s a cracking deal if you ask me! And with six Morrison’s supermarkets scattered across Edinburgh, options aplenty await to fill those rumbling tummies.

If a morning repast tickles your fancy, trot over to Beefeater or Brewer’s Fayre, where two kiddies can tuck into a gratis brekkie daily when accompanied by a paying adult. Now that’s what I call kick-starting the day in style!

But hold your reindeer, there’s more! The Real Greek at St James Quarter is also getting in on the festive fun. For every £10 spent by an adult, you can scoop up a complimentary kids’ meal from December 22 to January 7. Not a bad way to savour scrumptious Greek cuisine while keeping the wee ones content.

And if you’re planning a snug staycation in the city, both Travelodge and Premier Inn are offering a delightful offer. Purchase an adult breakfast starting from £8.99 and up to two kids can chow down for free. That’s sure to make the family holiday even merrier!

It’s heartwarming to witness Edinburgh businesses joining forces to lighten the load on families’ wallets this Christmas. Whether you’re grabbing a bite to eat while out and about, or enjoying a cozy stay in the city, there’s something for everyone to relish without breaking the bank.

So, if you’re hankering for a respite from cooking and a treat for the little ones (and yourself), be sure to explore these marvellous offers around town. With complimentary and discounted meals for the tots, this Christmas is bound to be brimming with delectable fare and festive merriment – all without making a dent in your purse. Cheers to that!
