If you’re looking to stretch your wallet without sacrificing flavour this summer, Las Iguanas might just be your new best friend.
The Latin-inspired restaurant chain is turning up the heat – and turning down the bill – with its Kids Eat Free offer running throughout the school summer holidays.
That’s right. At Las Iguanas, for every adult main course ordered from the à la carte menu, one child under 12 can enjoy a full meal absolutely free – and we’re not talking about a token slice of pizza. We’re talking mains, two sides, dessert, and a drink, all included.
No sign-ups. No codes. No wrangling with an app. Just honest-to-goodness value and food that might even convince your toddler to eat guacamole.
“It’s that simple with no sign-ups, no catches, just great value and even better food,” the restaurant confirms – a rare case where the marketing pitch actually holds water.
The Niños menu has been crafted with both picky eaters and budding foodies in mind. There’s mac & cheese, fish fingers and burgers for the traditionalists. But for those adventurous little taste buds, there’s mild coconut chicken curry and cheesy quesadillas, too.
Sides range from fries and baked beans to salad and veggie sticks with – yes – more guacamole. Desserts include creamy ice cream, chocolate brownies, fruity lollies, or cinnamon churros (which, let’s be honest, you’ll probably steal a bite of).
While the kids are sorted, adults can dive into Las Iguanas’ latest menu updates, sip on 2-for-1 cocktails during daily Happy Hours, or make the most of the £10 weekday lunch deal – that’s a main plus a drink for the price of a couple of lattes and a regretful supermarket sandwich.
Looking for a more celebratory excuse to get out of the house? There’s Bottomless Brunch every day, and a week’s worth of themed deals:
- Monday: Burgers and burritos for £8
- Tuesday: 2-for-1 tortillas
- Wednesday: Copacabana curry club – main + drink for £15
- Thursday: Tapas, three for £10
- Sunday: Fajitas for £15
From spontaneous family outings to post-work pick-me-ups, Las Iguanas has found a way to feed the whole crew without triggering an existential crisis at the till.
The Fine Print (Because There’s Always Fine Print)
One child’s meal (RRP £7.50) is free with each adult main from the à la carte menu. Kids must be under 12, and the offer is dine-in only – so no cheeky Deliveroo shortcuts.
It’s valid daily during the school summer holidays, except on major event days at select venues like The O2, Wembley, and a few others. Centre Parcs diners, sorry – you’re out too.
Booking ahead is wise, especially if you don’t fancy explaining to a hungry child that the churros are “all gone.”
