Good service and save money
I can’t see any info on Pizza Hut website that they are doing this. When I google it it says it has ended. It’s not under their current offers?
I have communication with their marketing team, they let me know ahead of release so they don’t miss out on the viral ‘Kids Eat Free’ post. It’ll be on their website in a few days.
Could someone please define ‘Kids’ – we’re struggling, and my boy is 16. Is he still technically a kid? Huge thanks folks x
Each place has its own set of T&Cs. Some are under 16 and some under 12. To be honest, I eat kids meals myself due to stomach surgery and I have never had any problems. A lot of places you can order from the app.
Is Wetherspoons not offering this deal?
No, I haven’t seen Wetherspoons do ‘Kids Eat Free’ since I have been tracking these deals for people (over 10 years) I think it’s because they cater mainly for adults.
Thank you.
Very good list you’ve got here.
Thought you’d missed one I’d come across then I realised that Pizza Hit is on the main list but just not of the Facebook graphic. Why was it missed??
The information was released too late by Pizza Hut
Actually there’s lots missing. Why not just make two graphics if there was too many for one. Now it’s not as easy to share it on social media.
