This January we’re all feeling the squeeze, hospitality included, but in a bid to pull in more trade, one group of pubs is pulling out all the stops for families with £1 children’s meals on offer throughout January.
Hungry Horse pubs across the UK are supporting parents and families this month by offering every child a meal for just a quid when accompanied by a paying adult.
The promotion launches on Monday 9 January right through until Friday 10 February and will be redeemable every Monday (all day) and Tuesday-Friday between 3-5pm in every Hungry Horse pub across the UK.
Here in Greater Manchester, diners looking to take up the deal will find three Hungry Horse pubs across the region: the Flying Horse in Wythenshawe, Matchstick Man in Salford and Hornet in Rochdale.
And that’s not the only deal on offer for families this January. Farmhouse Inns, also part of the same pub group, is offering two kids meals for £1 each – including from its fresh carvery, available from Monday-Saturday when accompanied by a paying adult.

The offer is running from Monday 9 January until Tuesday 31 January 2023 across all Farmhouse Inns pubs in the UK.
Ian Straughan, Marketing Controller for the brands, said: “We understand that this time of year is always challenging following the Christmas period and even more so this year with the current financial challenges affecting many across the UK.

“We believe it’s more important than ever for us to be able to support our customers and offer parents, families and individuals the opportunity to get the most for their money and entertain and feed their children for less.
“Our January offers do just that, providing a variety of options across our Hungry Horse, Farmhouse Inns and Wacky Warehouse brands, to keep children active and well fuelled, while helping to ease the monetary pressures that so many people are facing.”

You can swap Christmas toys for FREE pizzas at any Rudy’s in Greater Manchester
Thomas Melia
In an all new partnership, trusted pizza maker Rudy’s, are running a new campaign offering free pizzas in return for new Christmas toys.
From Monday 2 December to Friday 6 December, these pizza masters are offering Mancs and pizza lovers who visit any of their branches the chance to get their hands on some free doughy goodness.
This is thanks to Rudy’s teaming up with Cash For Kids to bring gifts and joy to children in need this Christmastime.
There are currently three sites across the city centre, and plenty more in the suburbs, meaning pizza lovers don’t have to travel to far to donate a new Christmas toy in return for some free gorgeous grub.
Take a job off Mr. Claus’s plate while filling your own and help him load his sleigh this festive season by taking your toy to any Rudy’s location between 12pm and 5pm.
This new deal comes in collaboration with child-focused charity solely dedicated to improving the lives of kids in need and disadvantaged young people across the UK.
Alongside this unbelievable deal, their website has lots of other fantastic ways to donate to charity including their latest t-shirt sported by our two favourite cheeky jungle co-hosts Ant and Dec.
Titled ‘Swap Toys For Pizza Joy’ all the gifts brought into the pizza restaurants need to be sealed or unopened.
Rudy’s also request that these toys which diners bring into their various locations are suitable for all children aged between 5 and 12.

Not only is this offer ingenious, anyone who brings their toy in exchange for a pizza is helping make Christmas for a child in need that little more merrier.
This Christmas-inspired campaign is taking place at all Rudy’s branches from Monday 2 December to Friday 6 December and all you have to do is bring yourself… and a toy!
His post has generated a fair bit of reaction already, with one person replying: “Ridiculous advice! Loss of a table for 4 ! Empty tables for 2! Over ordered and over staffed, this stupidly from someone who should know better must corrected. Every customer counts in this day and age.”
Someone else wrote: “The amount of people booking 2 venues this year and cancelling is on the increase too!! We are now taking deposits for groups over 6 to try and eliminate this! When space is an issue booking more than you need is not fair on the venues!!”
Another commented: “A table of 3 is actually sat on a table for four. So you’re denying the business of 50% of its potential turnover. Do not do this.”
