Some top restaurants and supermarkets are offering free or reduced food for children across South Tyneside this Easter school holiday. The rise of the cost of living has meant families are having to stretch their money further than ever in 2023, and plenty of companies are looking to help out and ensure everyone can still enjoy a meal out.

When is the Easter school holiday?
