Over twenty restaurants participating in scheme to help families
A free meal will be given for every child with an accompanying adult
February 13, 2023
Families dining out in Westfield in Shepherd’s Bush over the half term can take advantage of a special offer at over 20 participating restaurants.
Any child under 12 can get a free meal when accompanied by one paying adult.
Over twenty restaurants are participating grom pizza and bao buns to Greek and Italian restaurants.
The aim is to help families with the cost-of-living crisis – making the budget stretch a bit further during the week-long school holiday.
The free children’s meals will be on offer from Saturday 11 to Sunday 19 February.
Katie Wyle, general manager at Westfield London, explained: “We recognise how hard it can be for parents and caregivers to keep children entertained during the school holidays without the added costs.”
The Westfield restaurants offering free kids’ meals during the February half term are:
All Star Lanes
Barino
Bill’s
Bindas Eatery
Boost Juice Bar
Busaba
Cabana
Caffe Concerto - The Village
City Bouldering
Comptoir Libanais
Copper Chimney
Flipper’s
Franco Manca
Ichiba
Indigo Rasoi
Master Bao
Puttshack
Sixes Social Cricket
Spaghetti House
The Real Greek
The Shake Lab

The move has been welcomed by charity Save the Children UK, which pointed out child poverty rates in London were higher than the national average.
Caroline Whatley, from Save the Children UK, added, “Latest figures show that 35 per cent of London children aged 0 to 15 were in poverty in 2020-2021, which is higher than the national average.
“With fears continuing to mount that the capital’s child poverty rate will rise again because of the cost-of-living crisis, promotions like this that can save families money and treat children to a meal out of the house are very much welcomed.”
