Major chain launches 'kids eat for FREE' offer over the May half-term - but there's a catch

Daily Mail​23-05-2025

Premier Inn has launched an exciting 'Kids Eat Free' offer to celebrate the May half-term.
The major hotel chain already runs a 'Kids Eat Breakfast Free' year round but it's extending the offer between May 23 and June 1.
Over the half-term holiday, kids will be able to eat for free at lunch and dinner as well. And you don't have to be a guest to take advantage of the deal.
While the deal is an attractive one for parents looking to feed their kids for less this holiday, there are a couple of terms and conditions to be aware of.
Up to two children (aged 15 and under) can have one free main from the kids' menu per adult.
The adult will need to order a main course from Premier Inn's core evening menu and a drink priced at £1.99 to qualify for the offer.
The 'Kids Eat Free' at lunch and dinner offer is valid at selected Premier Inn restaurants, a list of which can be found on the hotel brand's website.
A Premier Inn spokesperson says: 'Whether you're a guest or not, this offer is sure to help your money go further this half-term holiday and bank holiday weekend, and with up to two children eating for free with every adult ordering a main course of full breakfast, Premier Inn hopes that families of all shapes and sizes can enjoy this great value deal.
'Premier Inn have designed its kids' menu with the help of its clever nutritionist, always 100 per cent responsibly sourced fish, 100 per cent chicken breast and 100 per cent UK and Irish beef, designed to meet the nutritional needs of growing children.'
Premier Inn's Kids' menu includes dishes such as 10-Veg Tomato Pasta and Oven Baked Poppin' Chicken.
The hotel brand recommends that people call their chosen location prior to visiting to confirm the opening times.

Travel brands 'need a bit more carrot and stick when it comes to decarbonising'

by James Chapple Travel businesses can start their journeys towards decarbonisation right right now without significant cost implications, ITT conference delegates were told on Wednesday (4 June), or otherwise need to be incentivised – or forced through regulation or fines – to make a start in earnest. Felix Hamer, expedition line HX's strategy manager (sustainability), said brands shouldn't be afraid of admitting they are at the start of a journey, and should start taking whatever action they can – even if it starts with low-hanging fruit – with a focus on transparency rather than perfection in the first instance. "We need the carrot and the stick," he said in conversation with TerraVerde Sustainability founder and sustainability, Patrick Richards. "We need the fines and the financial incentives to decarbonise. And we need them to ramp up quickly – there are very few regulations that are really pushing us to decarbonise properly. "Even the IMO [International Maritime Organisation] is talking about 2028. But what about 2027 and 2026?" Hamer said anyone working in sustainability was keen for regulation to be laid. "If I'm trying to justify decarbonisation internally, and saying we need to invest – say – one hundred thousand to one million this year, but there's legislation being talked about that may be implemented in 2028, the impetus is all taken out from my discussion. "It's a very stressful time to be in this industry for that reason. Richards said that there was a perception that acting on ESG and the regulations governing how businesses act was "very bureaucratic", and asked Hamer whether there were any shortcuts to speed up adoption of better practices. "My recommendation would be that transparency is much more important than perfection," he replied. "You shouldn't be afraid to say you're at the start of this journey, that this is a partial report and that you'll improve it next year and next year. Just get going, because transparency is a real problem in the industry. "We released our first environmental report in 2017. I looked back at it last night, and it is basic. But as we've been doing it ever since, we've got better and better at measuring – more robust and broader measurements, measuring more things. "When CSRB [EU corporate sustainability reporting] came in, our auditors said we need to have a plan. We did our double materiality assessment, which is something people are going to have to do to see what part of the reporting they should do, it was actually much easier for us because we already had that reporting in place." Richards asked Hamer if he had any advice for businesses keen to follow HX's lead and embrace rather than run away from the problem. "So there are two things. One, just start reporting – even if it's basic – and the second thing is to start taking action. "If you map out the things you can do – materiality versus difficulty – then just do the things that are low difficulty, high materiality, and just get going. And again, if you're reporting, that's how you keep honest." Richards said cost was typically seen as a barrier to progress on ESG [environmental, social and governance] and asked Hamer how he assessed the cost-benefit ratio within HX. "Cost is not always a direct one-to-one, pound in, pound out situation," he said. "I benefit from the fact sustainability is one of our core USPs as a company. "It's about bridging the gap. Purchasing biofuel, for example, comes at a crazy premium right now. We have to find reasons to do it. Then there's communication. When we get a positive publication, that is justification for us investing in something.

Matheus Cunha will be perfect for Man Utd and Bruno Fernandes – but only if Ruben Amorim makes crucial signing

IT is safe to say that Manchester United failed to live up to their supporters' expectations. They finished in 15th place, well behind the European qualification spots, on just 42 points, and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham to leave them trophyless. 9 9 9 The club have backed new boss Ruben Amorim despite the historically bad results. That backing does appear to have extended to the transfer market as well. Brazil star Matheus Cunha is already confirmed to be on board at Old Trafford in a £62.5million arrival from Wolves. Meanwhile, club captain Bruno Fernandes has opted to stay despite a mega £700,000-a-week offer to join Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal. How exactly Cunha will be used by Man Utd still remains to be seen. He has played as a striker at points for Wolves but he is not the type to make regular runs behind the defensive line, preferring to drop deeper in order to receive and link play. That means he is arguably more effective in behind a main striker, which could create an overlap of profiles with the likes of Fernandes. Below we break down the tactical fit of Cunha at Man Utd under Amorim. Intelligent movement around the penalty area It is interesting to note that towards the end of the season we saw Wolves typically play the same tactical shape as Man Utd did under Amorim. Their 3-4-2-1 shape saw Cunha used either as a 9 or as one of the two attacking midfielders behind the main striker. In these positions Cunha's intelligence and movement in the final third and around the penalty area helped Wolves create a lot of threat. He is very strong when it comes to finding little pockets of space to drop into and attack around the opposition defensive structure. The Brazilian is also difficult to deal with defensively because when defending deep opposition players will typically be concentrating on being tight and defending the space between the ball and the goal. Cunha takes advantage of this with sharp movements to outplay defenders and create shooting opportunities. 9 We believe Cunha would be able to play in a similar kind of role to Fernandes as both are extremely intelligent in the attacking phase of the game. This would mean, however, that Man Utd would still need to add a new forward to play ahead of him, assuming they decide Rasmus Hojlund is not the long term solution. This could be an issue solved in the near future with the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford. The type of runs Mbeumo makes would be perfect to stretch the length of the pitch and offer passing options or decoys for Cunha to benefit from. Indeed, the runs Mbeumo makes are extremely close to those of Mohamed Salah at Liverpool and could benefit both Cunha and Fernandes greatly. With Fernandes being more comfortable as a passer and creator from deeper areas, we should see Cunha acting as the link between the Portugal star and the forward. 9 Given Fernandes is well known as one of the most aggressive and creative passers in the league he will enjoy having a player like Cunha alongside him to find space in tight areas. While Cunha is not an out and out striker, his movement and intelligence of positioning around the area will create real threat. Not just a finisher Cunha impressed in front of goal last season as he finished with 15 league goals, while he was also able to provide a creative threat for his team But Cunha has long been seen as more of a creative attacker than a true goalscorer, such as when he was at Hertha Berlin or Atletico Madrid. The same is true in deeper positions, especially in transition, when Cunha was capable of getting on the ball and play the final line breaking ball to release team-mates. He was extremely versatile with his positioning as he occupied pockets across the width of the penalty area. 9 In terms of his on pitch relationship with Fernandes, it will be interesting to see how Cunha interacts with him given their respective preferred creative operating areas. The 30-year-old is less of a runner and more of a passer which could create disconnects with Cunha due to a lack of vertical runners around him. With that said, the two should be able to connect deeper with Cunha being the player to make the more aggressive vertical run off the back of that connection. The issue Man Utd may have is they will essentially have two advanced midfielders without an effective focal point striker to play off of and make the ball stick. 9 It is all very well for Amorim to add creativity and dangerous passing to their attacking unit. But they need to ensure that they have the players ahead of the ball that can make the runs to take advantage of those passes. Decision making and intelligence Cunha is a player who can become decisive for the Red Devils both in scoring goals and creating chances, and that is down to his supreme intelligence and strong decision making. This is what makes him such a versatile attacker, and it would therefore be somewhat wasteful to play him as the main striker. He is far better when allowed to play deeper and underneath a more physical and aggressive striker. 9 Essentially, Man Utd should be looking to use a striker who can threaten space behind the defensive line. This should force the opposition defensive line deeper and then we would see Cunha, and Bruno, with more space that they could play in underneath the striker. The ability of a player to consistently make correct choices in terms of the timing and direction of his runs is something that is hugely underlooked. 9 Especially given the pace of the modern game and the intensity of the Premier League. The fact, Cunha always seems to give team-mates what they need at the right time will be hugely beneficial to Man Utd in terms of helping them to unlock opposition teams. Conclusion In our opinion signing a player like Cunha off the back of a terrible season will be a real boost for the Red Devils and their fans. What is critical though, is Cunha is then surrounded with more signings in key areas to give him the support to make the most of his attacking and creative abilities. Given Man Utd are already looking to add Mbeumo to their ranks, it would suggest an awareness they need to add more options in the attacking third. It will still be a long summer ahead for Man Utd's recruitment team.
