As cost of living pressures rise, parents are on the lookout for places where their kids can eat for free.
Adelaide is home to several venues where young children are able to eat at no cost during the week.
Lukas McKay, general manager of ALH Hotels – which owns 34 pubs in the state including six that offer kids-eat-free deals – said the group had seen an increase in the number of people taking advantage of kids eat free deals.
“We are seeing high demand through all our ALH hotel network, proving Australians love having social occasions and creating family moments at the pub,” he said.
Mr McKay said the aim of their pubs, especially as the cost of living is increasing, was to bring people together.
“Our aim is to create pub experiences that locals love and that is resonating with people everywhere – especially as people are really seeking out the best value for their social occasions,” he said.
“With the warmer weather on the way, we notice even more of a demand for families wanting to have even more memorable moments and fantastic experiences.”
