How to save money eating out with family pub deals
Quality family time matters – not that every moment has to be picture perfect, but because those little ordinary moments spent together add up to create lasting memories. From family holidays to muddy country walks, spending time together is priceless… if only it WERE priceless.
Yep, when getting together as a family, the costs can quickly mount up. Transport, accommodation, souvenirs, tickets – it all adds up, and a simple day out can really burn a hole in your pocket. And the trickiest part? Keeping everyone fed and watered without spending a small fortune.
Luckily, here at Hungry Horse, we’re passionate about helping you get more for your money. Everyone knows budgeting is the least fun part of the day, so that’s why we’ve made it simple with our family pub deals, plus a few extra tips for good measure.
Plan ahead
As fun as they are, family days out can be chaotic, especially when you have multiple little ones to take care of. Sure, spontaneous trips can turn out to be lovely, but knowing where you’re going, what you’re doing and what time you’ll likely be returning home can make all the difference (especially when the little ones get overtired and grumpy). A little preparation means more time enjoying each other’s company without the stress of having to plan on the fly, keeping those unexpected expenses at bay.
Choose a family-friendly pub
Well, the good news here is that all our Hungry Horse pubs are family-friendly! That’s right, we take pride in maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere for the whole gang, from great-grandparents to the teeniest tiniest little ones. With baby changing facilities and plenty of room for prams and buggies, you can relax knowing that everything has been taken care of. And we understand that feeding the whole family can be expensive, which is why our prices are budget-friendly so that you can guarantee full tummies and more pennies in your wallet.
Inspect the kids’ menu
Fussy eaters? We know how to handle ‘em! And by that, we mean giving them something they really like. It always feels like a waste of money when your little ones turn up their noses at what you put in front of them, but you can rest assured you won’t have that problem at your local Hungry Horse. Our kids' menu is chock-full of delicious and nutritious treats to placate even the fussiest of palates, from brilliant burgers to tasty Build Your Own Tacos.
Entertainment for the little ones
The prospect of keeping the wee ones entertained on a family day out is enough to have your bank account quaking. However, you don’t need to spend buckets of cash at an arcade or fork out for cinema tickets to have them beaming from ear to ear. Many of our Hungry Horse pubs feature thrilling outdoor play areas. Better yet, some have Wacky Warehouse indoor soft play areas, so your kiddos can run, jump, slide and climb until they’re ravenous for a hearty feast. Plus, you can save even more by purchasing a play pass if you plan multiple visits during the school holidays.
…and the grown-ups!
Hey, why should the kids get all the fun? Family days out should be a blast for everyone, grown-ups included! Well, we have excellent news for you – with Hungry Horse, you can enjoy live sports, cashless pool tables, dart boards and, of course, a fully stocked bar with all your favourite tipples. Now, going back to that live sport. We stream all the latest live action with Sky Sports and TNT Sports, so you needn’t miss the next big game, even if you’ve promised to take the gang for a family feast. And hey, you’ll save a whole bunch by not having to fork out for stadium tickets.
It’s all about the location
Once everyone has cleared their plates, the final whistle has blown, and the kids have finished making friends in the soft play area, now what? If you’re not quite ready to go home, you might as well find something nearby to keep everyone occupied. Luckily, many of our Hungry Horse pubs are in excellent locations, close to parks and nature reserves, where you can take the crew for a post-dinner stroll in the hopes of wearing them out for bedtime. After all, it’s hard to beat fun that’s free!
Daily deals
Here’s where it gets good, folks. Our fantastic daily deals are the key to keeping costs low when you’re out for a bite to eat with the family. And the best part? You can enjoy a different money-saving deal every day of the week. If your lot can handle a bit of spice, head over on a Wednesday for a midweek curry night with Curry Wednesday. If the weekend has thoroughly wiped you out, leave the cooking for another day and get your grill on with Grill Monday. And who could say no to a juicy stacked burger? Even better when you can buy one and get another for just £1 with Friday Burgers.
