If you are a parent or carer trying to keep your little ones entertained (and fed) during the school holidays this week, The Veg Box Cafe in Canterbury and London might just be your new best mate.
For one week only, they are offering free meals for children under 12 when dining with a paying adult.
Keep reading to find out how your sticky-fingered crew can tuck into something wholesome while you get to enjoy a bit of peace and pancakes.

These two meat-free eateries are making it easier for families to eat out without breaking the bank. From 14th to 21st April, 2025 up to two kids can eat free when an adult orders a main dish. It is as simple as that. No faff. No voucher codes. Just turn up, sit down and let the good eating happen.
Whether your small humans are into pancakes, plant-based lasagne, or just stealing chips off your plate, there is something for everyone. And while they are busy munching, you might even get a few uninterrupted sips of your coffee.
Hats off to The Veg Box Cafe for thinking about families and doing something that helps make the holidays a little easier. Deals like this show how food businesses can support their communities in a truly delicious way.
