Where do kids eat free in Cheltenham?
At two chains, until 1 November 2026: PizzaExpress for under 12s from 26 October, and Zizzi for members of its Zillionaires' Club. Both need a code from the chain's website and a paying adult. None of the independents we checked runs a deal.
Which Cheltenham restaurants suit a noisy toddler?
The big, busy rooms. Mowgli calls its own atmosphere lively, and Pho, Wagamama, PizzaExpress and Cosy Club share The Brewery Quarter, so you can walk on if one is full. Fioro Lounge has toys. The Ivy calls its room "a haven away from the everyday bustle", so save it for children who sit still.
