Five of Edinburgh’s most popular family-friendly restaurants and bars have launched a ‘free’ kids’ menu in time for the February half term holidays (14th – 18th February).
McLarens on the Corner in Morningside, Cold Town House and The Black Bull in the Grassmarket, The Fountain in Fountainbridge and Badger & Co on Castle Street in Edinburgh have cooked a fresh and tasty selection of free kids’ meals for children aged up to 10 years to help encourage families to support their local independent restaurant during the school holidays and give hungry youngsters an appetite for healthy, hot meals made with local produce.
Dishes on the menu include breaded haddock goujons; Scottish beef burgers and sausages and mash showcasing some of the best locally sourced produce from around Scotland.
Local suppliers include Glasgow-based family seafood company, John Vallance; East Lothian’s John Gilmour Butchers and Crombies of Edinburgh.
