The summer holidays can be a time parents count their pennies, with the need to feed and entertain their kids for weeks.

There is an answer, as bargain hunting website Money Saving Central has listed shops and restaurants where children, mostly aged 10 and under, can eat for free or for with discounts over the school break.

All four major supermarkets have kids deals, with some needing no adult spend at all.
