SOME Highland Tesco store cafes are offering meal deals to children during the summer holidays.

Tesco Café in the Inverness retail park along with their cafes in Wick and Thurso are running the free meals deal for kids when an adult spends

£3.50.

The deal will run from Monday July 19 until Wednesday September 1 – perfect for lots of summer holiday treats.

The offer covers the Pick “N” Mix meal deal, usually £2.75, which includes a sandwich, soft drink, piece of fruit and two snacks, or a kids’ hot meal. The hot meal deal, usually £2.85, includes main course choices such as baked chicken goujons, Omega 3 fish fingers or “hidden veg” Mac and Cheese, an additional veg option including veg sticks and beans, an extra side option including sweet potato fries, carrot and swede mash or garlic bread, and a soft drink of water, milk, kids milkshakes or juice.

There are also kids breakfast options available in the deal, including Little Eggs or Little Avocado, both on toast.

Adult customers can choose from a range of premium quality meals from the café including avocado on toast, the vegan breakfast and fish and chips. One of Tesco Cafe’s best sellers, and incredible value meals is the full breakfast which includes a British pork sausage, bacon rasher, free range fried egg, two hash browns, roasted tomato, baked beans and toast, for just £4.15. Tesco Cafés also offer a full range of premium barista coffee, using UK roasted beans and including Lattes, Espressos and Mochas.

Jo Barnes, head of marketing and food development at Tesco Café, said: “The summer holidays are the perfect opportunity for some quality family time and a little treat. Families can enjoy a premium quality breakfast, lunch or dinner together whilst shopping at Tesco, all for great value as kids eat free when an adult spends just £3.50.

“We’ve worked really hard to ensure we’re offering balanced and healthy options for our little diners. We encourage well balanced and healthier kids meal options by adding a vegetable side with every hot meal, a piece of fruit with every cold meal and ensuring all our kids snacks are under 100 calories.

"We strongly believe that eating out shouldn’t have to cost families a lot of money, especially in the expensive summer holidays, and we wanted to

provide some unbeatable offers for families.”
