Asda says its initiative "stands apart" from other supermarket chains as there are no minimum spend requirements, plus there is no need to purchase an adult meal to unlock the offer.

As an alternative to a hot meal, Asda café also offers a £1 cold pick-and-mix selection, including a sandwich, drink, and piece of fruit. The menu includes new additions such as a jelly pot with whole fruit pieces or a jelly squeeze pouch as an alternative to a pack of crisps. This deal will also be reduced to 60p from May 1.

Ian McEvans, vice president of commercial food at Asda said: “Asda has a rich heritage in supporting families and reducing our already hugely popular Kids Eat for £1 initiative to 60p is the perfect way to highlight that and to kick-start our 60th birthday celebrations.

“We know families face financial pressures when it comes feeding their children, not just during the school holidays, but all year round. We've served over six million meals since we first launched the initiative in 2022, proving what a lifeline it is to families across the UK, so I’m delighted that we can drop the price to 60p this May and hope to reduce some of that pressure even further.”
