KIDSEAT
FREE
Bridie's Bar & Bistro – Linwood (~15 min northeast of Halswell)
Full deal terms and grown-up perks in the app
A thursday dinner in Christchurch used to mean leftovers or takeaway. Kids eat free nights flip that — one adult main, and the kids eat free, at pubs, bistros and family restaurants across town.
We frequently check in with venues to make sure deals are valid so look for a green tick or verified badge below and in the app. With Kids Eat Free Club you'll also find our exclusive 'Hot Deals' offering you the biggest savings at restaurants.
KIDS
KIDSIt's one thing to hear that "plenty of places do kids eat free on thursdays". It's another to know which Christchurch restaurants are actually running it this week. We call venues, check the details, and keep this list current so you're not relying on a Facebook post from 2019.
Most families save between $15 and $35 with kids eat free deals, and many families save hundreds of dollars each month — but only if you turn up on the right night. Filter by day in the Kids Eat Free Club app to see the rest of the week too.
KIDSFull terms, deal hours, grown-up perks and a live map — filtered to thursdays, updated daily, always free.
Kids eat free almost always means a kids menu item, not a free adult main. You'll usually need to order a qualifying adult meal, and some kitchens stop the deal after a set time.
That's why we verify. Venues change thursday offers more often than you'd think. A date on the verified badge means we've checked in recently — and if a deal is still under review, we won't stamp it.
We currently list 5 Christchurch venues with an active kids eat free deal on thursdays. The list on this page is a sample — open the Kids Eat Free Club app to filter the full set by suburb, cuisine and time.
It depends on the venue. Some Christchurch restaurants run kids eat free all day on thursdays; others start from late afternoon. Each listing in the app includes hours and any cut-off time so you're not turning up after the kitchen has switched the deal off.
Some Christchurch venues take walk-ins, some prefer a booking (especially popular thursdays), and a few ask you to mention the deal when you sit down. We spell that out per restaurant in the app.
