The Black Friar in Salford has joined a short list of Greater Manchester pubs offering a "Kids Eat Free" promotion throughout the summer school holidays. The scheme is being run alongside the Horse and Jockey in Chorlton and is valid for the period that generally forms the English school summer break, which runs until 31 August.
What is on offer
Children visiting the participating pubs can choose from a range of familiar dishes on a family-focused menu. Options include:
- Hotdog with fries
- Chicken and halloumi wrap with fries
- Sausages and mash
- Beef burgers
- Chicken goujons
- Cheese and tomato pizza
The Black Friar is described as a restored pub with an "award-winning garden", while the Horse and Jockey is located on the edge of Chorlton Green. Both venues say they aim to provide a relaxed, family-friendly setting for meals during the holidays.
"It’s a relaxed destination serving up pub classics in a family-friendly setting."
Practical information for families
The promotion covers the duration of the summer school holidays in England, which typically run until 31 August. The offer has been advertised as available throughout this period. Families planning to visit should consider the following:
- Check directly with the pub for any terms and conditions not publicly listed (for example, age limits, times when the offer is valid, or whether it requires an accompanying adult purchase).

- Confirm menus and any dietary information or allergen guidance with staff before ordering.
