In Bury, Pilsworth is the only Asda with a café and therefore the only local location offering the Kids Eat for £1 initiative.

A spokesperson for Asda said: “We know that families can find the summer holidays tough, and our customers are telling us that this year more than ever, they’re concerned about holiday hunger.

“With that in mind, we are so pleased to be able to offer children’s meals for just £1, with no minimum adult spend, to ensure that those who would normally rely on a school meal aren’t left without.”

With the pressures of the cost-of-living crisis increasing, the £1 deal aims to tackle holiday hunger by giving hot or cold meals to under 16’s every day of the week.

This will be available from July 25 until September 4 in England and Wales, as long as the Café is open and dependent on the store, a hot meal or cold meal, or both, will be on offer.

Baby food will also be available as part of the initiative, with little ones able to enjoy a free pouch of Ella’s Kitchen baby food (70g pouch) in their local Asda Café.
