Kids can eat for free every Sunday at the Borrowdale Hotel
With the Summer holidays just around the corner, for many this means time off, daytime activities and long Summer nights spent out with friends. But if you’re a parent, it can mean children under your feet all day, an overflowing washing basket and shelling out for endless meals in cafés and restaurants. The school holidays can cost a small fortune; so, finding places to take the kids for free can be a lifesaver.
