Pizza Hut giving away free food every week over summer holidays
Pizza Hut is giving away free large pizzas every Wednesday when you spend £15 through its app. The new offering, which is called Hut Wednesdays, is valid for both delivery and collection, but not for in-store or third-party orders.
In order to get the deal, you'll need to down the Pizza Hut app on the App Store or by Google Play. Pizza Hut has more than 260 restaurants across the UK, according to its website.
Jana Ulaite, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut UK &I, said: "We're super excited to introduce Hut Wednesdays as the UK's new midweek ritual by giving away free pizza.
"We invite you to live it large & bring good times to those midweek blues. Why wait for the weekend when you can live it large every Wednesday instead?"
It comes after new research from insurance company Scottish Friendly revealed parents are bracing themselves for a financial hit of up to £1,000 per child over the school summer holidays.
The study reveals that UK parents expect to spend an average of £167 a week on childcare and activities during the six-week break, totalling £1,002 per child. In London, where costs are higher, this rises to £236 a week – or £1,416 over the entire summer.
The vast majority of parents – 87% – describe the summer holidays as a 'burden' on their finances, with many now actively looking to cut costs.
A third (33%) plan to take advantage of free activities, such as National Trust days out, while nearly a quarter (24%) will set – and stick to – a summer budget.
Others are turning to support from grandparents and extended family (18%) or dipping into their savings (10%) for help with childcare. Some 9% intend to use tax-free childcare vouchers.
More than half of parents with children aged under 18 (53%) say planning summer childcare is a source of stress, rising to 63% among those with children aged 1 to 4.
Scottish Friendly's savings specialist, Kevin Brown, commented on the data: 'For many families, the summer holidays bring stress and financial strain.
'The cost of childcare and activities can quickly add up, especially for those with younger children. It's encouraging to see that many parents are thinking ahead, budgeting carefully and finding creative ways to reduce costs.
'However, it is concerning that one in 10 parents will be dipping into their savings to cover the additional childcare costs over the summer holidays.
'If that wasn't what the savings were originally intended for, it will mean a loss in compounded growth – for those parents it's an unseen further cost of ensuring children are kept safe and engaged over the long summer break.'

Jana Ulaite, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut UK &I, said: "We're super excited to introduce Hut Wednesdays as the UK's new midweek ritual by giving away free pizza. "We invite you to live it large & bring good times to those midweek blues. "Why wait for the weekend when you can live it large every Wednesday instead?" Pizza Hut first arrived in the UK in 1973 and quickly became a favourite with diners. At its height, the chain operated over 260 restaurants nationwide, employing 10,000 staff and welcoming three million customers each month. Some of its most notable creations include the introduction of the pan pizza in 1980, the stuffed crust in 1995, and the re-launch of the pan pizza as the grand pan in 1998. Pan pizzas are baked in a deep, oil-coated dish, giving the crust a deliciously crispy, golden edge and a lightly fried texture on the bottom. Stag party orders £150 of Dominos pizza to a moving train Meanwhile a little-known pizza chain is quietly expanding - with four new locations set to open across the UK. Pizza Pilgrims, founded in 2012 by brothers James and Thom Elliot, is fast approaching 29 sites nationwide. Already well-established in King's Cross, London, the company is now expanding to major cities including Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol. The Birmingham branch will open in the busy Grand Central transport hub at New Street station. Manchester's new pizzeria will span two floors in Deansgate, featuring a Masterclass kitchen like the one in Canary Wharf. Pizza Pilgrims reported record revenue of £34.4m for the year ending June 2024 - a 20 percent increase on the previous year's £28.7 million. It comes as Domino's confirmed it had axed a handful of its popular pizzas from its UK menus. The fast food giant has said customers will no longer be able to buy three of their vegan pizza options. The Plant-Based American Hot, Plant-Based Peppy-roni and Plant-Based Chick'n Winner have been discontinued.
