Monica Kania, the restaurant manager, said: “Easter is a time spent with family and we want to make sure children are not left out on the chance to enjoy a family meal.

“Constantly finding things to do and entertain the kids throughout the Easter holidays can be quite an expensive exercise which is why we’ve put this offer in place. And with people concerned by the current cost of living, this is a great way to enjoy a meal out without breaking the bank.

“The offer is available during the Easter holidays and will give beleaguered parents a great opportunity to not worry about what to eat and give them a break from preparing and then clearing up the dirty dishes!

“Marco’s restaurant here at The Leonardo Royal Hotel on West Quay Road is about 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 menus are also perfect for kids, so parents won’t have to worry about there not being anything that they like and we’re expecting to see a lot of happy faces over the Easter holidays.”
