Asda has announced that it will reduce the price of children's meals in its cafes for one month as it celebrates its 60th anniversary. The popular ‘Kids Eat for £1’ café meal deal at the supermarket is set to become even cheaper throughout May as Asda announces it will be dropping the price to just 60p. The meal deal will be available in over 205 cafes throughout the UK, with nine different meals being available for the price; including Penne Pasta with Meatballs, Chicken Nuggets, Fish Fingers and Margherita Pizza.
In addition, children will receive a free piece of fruit such as an apple, pear or banana when purchasing the hot kids 60p meal deal.

It was originally put in place to help parents manage their budgets throughout the summer holidays before being made permenant all year round.
As an alternative to a hot meal, Asda Café’s also offer a £1 cold pick and mix selection that includes a sandwich, drink and piece of fruit, the menu includes new treats such as a jelly pot with whole fruit pieces or a jelly squeeze pouch as an alternative to a pack of crisps, this will also be reduced to 60p Ian McEvans, Vice President - Commercial Food at Asda said: “Asda has a rich heritage in supporting families and reducing our already hugely popular Kids Eat for £1 initiative to 60p is the perfect way to highlight that and to kick-start our 60th birthday celebrations. “We know families face financial pressures when it comes feeding their children, not just during the school holidays, but all year round. We've served over six million meals since we first launched the initiative in 2022, proving what a lifeline it is to families across the UK, so I’m delighted that we can drop the price to 60p this May and hope to reduce some of that pressure even further.
