Asda launches summer cafe deal so the whole family can eat for £8.50

The whole family can eat at Asda cafes for £8.50 under a new deal for the summer.

Its kids eat for £1 menu has already been a massive success, but the supermarket has taken things a step further by launching half price adult meals.

Dishes, costing £3.25, includes the likes of lasagne, fish and chips, chicken tikka masala and steak and ale pie served with mash and peas.

The kids menu, for under 16s, features a range of hot meals including fish fingers and mac and cheese - or a cold pick and mix, which you can either eat in or take away - something we sampled for ourselves last summer. It was recently refreshed to include new vegan and healthy meal options.

The new summer deal, which launched on June 29 and runs across the main school holidays, applies in every Asda cafe from 3pm onwards.

From this Friday, it will also offer 16" pizzas for £4 until September 4.

Kris Comerford, Asda’s chief commercial officer, said: "We know when families are preparing for the school holidays it can often mean an additional strain on household budgets.

"Our Kids' £1 café meal deals continue to provide a lifeline to families as we’ve served over 1.7m meals since launch. Now with the introduction of half-price adult main meals in cafés from 3pm onwards, it means we can extend our support to the whole family in the coming weeks and across the summer holidays."

Last summer, more than 80,000 meals a week were served across the holidays – peaking to over three times the normal levels on an average week.

This year Asda is also working with educational resource experts Twinkl, to provide cafe activity packs that are packed with holiday fun, educational resources to help eep children entertained over the summer break. These are available from the store's Community Champion from now until stocks last.
