Banana Tree is bringing back its Kids Eat Free offer this May half term, giving families a welcome chance to enjoy a meal out without the bill landing like a wet beach towel across the household budget.
Running from 25th May to 31st May 2026, the offer is available at Banana Tree restaurants nationwide, with one child able to enjoy a complimentary kids’ meal for every full-priced adult main ordered.
For families trying to stretch every pound through the school holidays, that is not just a restaurant deal. It is a small, useful bit of breathing room.
Why Banana Tree’s Half-Term Deal Matters For Families
Half term has a nasty habit of sounding charming in the calendar and expensive in real life.
There are days out to plan, snacks to replenish, transport costs to absorb, and children who appear to treat the fridge like an open-all-hours buffet. By day three, even the most organised parent can find themselves staring into a cupboard wondering whether cereal counts as dinner if served with confidence.
That is where Banana Tree’s Kids Eat Free offer earns its place.
For every full-priced adult main ordered, one child can eat free from the kids’ menu. Guests simply need to let their server know when they arrive.
It is straightforward, practical and designed for families who want a treat without adding another thump to the weekly spend.
Big Flavours Without The Big Extra Cost
Banana Tree has built its reputation around bold Southeast Asian flavours, which makes this offer a little more interesting than the usual school-holiday fallback of beige food and parental resignation.
The menu includes family-friendly dishes such as Katsu Curries, Wok-Fried Noodles and sweet and sticky BBQ wings, giving children familiar flavours with just enough adventure to make lunch or dinner feel like an outing rather than another tactical refuelling stop.
For adults, the appeal is just as clear. While the children tuck into their free meal, grown-ups can explore Banana Tree’s signature Southeast Asian favourites, inspired by the street food kitchens of the region.
In plain English: everyone gets fed, nobody has to cook, and the family meal does not have to feel like a financial ambush.
A Useful Choice For Different Appetites
One of Banana Tree’s stronger family-dining advantages is variety.
With over 40% of the menu plant-based, the restaurant gives families a broader spread of options for different appetites and dietary preferences. That is particularly useful when dining with children, because every parent knows the rules can change without warning.
One week they love noodles. The next, noodles are apparently an insult.
Whether families are introducing little ones to new flavours or sticking with safer favourites, the Kids Eat Free offer gives parents a more affordable way to make mealtimes feel fun during the school break.
The Dates Parents Need To Know
The Banana Tree Kids Eat Free offer runs from Monday, 25th May to Sunday, 31st May 2026.
It is valid for dine-in only and gives one complimentary kids’ meal per adult main purchased. The offer is subject to availability and may vary by restaurant.
Booking is strongly recommended, as half-term restaurant deals tend to pull families through the doors faster than the words “free pudding”.
One important note: the offer is not valid at Banana Tree O2 on event days.
The Small Print
The promotion applies to one complimentary kids’ meal per adult main purchased.
It is valid Monday to Sunday for dine-in only and applies in GB only. The offer is subject to availability and may vary by restaurant.
It cannot be used alongside any other promotion, set menu, voucher, discount, loyalty reward or Tesco Clubcard vouchers.
The offer has no cash value, is non-transferable and no alternative will be offered. It may also be amended, varied or withdrawn at any time without prior notice.

A Smart Half-Term Option For Families Watching Costs
For struggling families, the school holidays can quickly become a balancing act between keeping children entertained and keeping spending under control.
Banana Tree’s Kids Eat Free offer will not solve the wider pressure on household budgets, but it does make one family meal more affordable. And sometimes that is enough to turn an ordinary half-term day into something that feels like a treat.
A free kids’ meal, a table away from the kitchen, and no washing-up waiting at home.
In school-holiday terms, that is practically a minor miracle served with noodles.
