Free Meals for Children at ASDA
Money Saving
Asda has today stepped up its support for families across the UK by offering children the chance to eat for free in its cafes throughout December.
All 216 of the supermarket’s cafes are taking part and will provide children under the age of 16 with a meal completely free of any charge when accompanied by an adult. There are no minimum spend requirements or restrictions on the number of children in a family or group that can take advantage of this offer.
Asda expects to serve around 215,000 free meals to children from its cafes during December and is offering hot and cold menu choices such as fish fingers, chicken nuggets or sandwiches – all served with a drink and a piece of fruit.
Asda cafes located in areas with Tier 3 Covid restrictions will still provide this offer to local children via a takeaway service. The offer will run from December 1st to 31st December except Christmas Day when stores are closed.
The free meals for children is part of Asda’s Christmas kindness campaign, which aims to support local communities during difficult and unprecedented times.
I wasn't aware of this campaign and whilst I applaud Asda for doing this, I am deeply saddened of the need to do it in the UK in 2020
It's a nice idea, but I think it should all be done as a takeaway service, rather than letting people eat in. The supermarkets are already too crowded, and with this new strain of Covid spreading so rapidly I don't think having people eating in in the cafes is such a good idea. Most supermarket cafes aren't that spacious, so social distancing could be an issue, and they'd only be able to seat a limited number of people so they'll likely end up with groups of people just hanging around in the supermarket waiting. Offering it only as a takeaway service seems like a safer choice, which will still achieve what they want to achieve.
