PARENTS looking to treat their children to a meal out during the summer holidays can take advantage of a kids-eat-free deal at a celebrity chef’s restaurant.

Families can visit Marco’s New York Italian at The Gables Hotel in Falfield near Thornbury, part of Marco Pierre White’s restaurant empire.

Available for under-12s, the kids-eat-free offer runs from July 22 to August 31.

It includes either a starter and main course or a main course and dessert with every full-paying adult main meal from the à la carte menu.

For a starter, younger guests can choose from crispy calamari, American loaded nachos, tomato soup or cheesy garlic bread.

For a main course, the options include the chance for children to build their own pizzetta or burger, a butcher’s steak and chips, linguine pomodoro and mac and cheese.

To finish, desserts include a dark chocolate brownie, baked vanilla cheesecake, a selection of ice creams and sorbets and fresh fruit skewers.

“We’re conscientious that constantly finding things to do during the summer holidays can become quite costly,” Anthony Greenidge, general manager, said of the deal.

“We’ve put this offer in place so that families can go out and enjoy a meal together that costs a lot less.

“With people still concerned by the current cost of living, this is a great way to enjoy a meal out without breaking the bank.

“It will also give parents a much-needed break from preparing and then clearing up dishes.”

Anthony explained that Marco Pierre White’s ethos concerns “simple, authentic food served in a great environment with a relaxed atmosphere”.

“We serve classic, recognisable dishes that sit perfectly with Marco’s ethos of casual, authentic and affordable dining,” the general manager said.

“The arrival of the new children’s menu is also a great reason to plan a family meal out, and we look forward to welcoming guests young and old.

“The dishes are perfect for kids, and they’ll certainly be well fed by the time they have finished.”
