Children will be able to dine for free every day this summer, including weekends, as Tesco extends its Kids Eat Free scheme.

The offer is available at Tesco Cafés and Coffee Shops with the purchase of a full-priced adult item, such as a 65p apple, and is valid at more than 330 participating Tesco locations, including the Hexham store.

Running from June 25 to September 1, the scheme provides children with a selection of free meals when a Tesco Clubcard is scanned with the purchase.

Claire De Silva, head of communities at Tesco, said: "We know that household budgets can be really stretched, especially over the long summer holiday, so offering free meals to children during this time is just one of the ways we can support families."

Menu options include egg and soldiers, beans and soldiers, pancakes, omega 3 fish fingers, baked chicken strips, and pork sausages.

Tesco is also offering free apples to children at checkouts as part of its Free Fruit for Kids campaign, running in more than 800 large stores.

Through the Free Fruit and Veg for Schools programme, Tesco has donated 15.7 million portions of fruit and vegetables since its launch in 2024.

The supermarket aims to help one million children eat more fruit and vegetables.
