Restaurants offering the deal include:

• Caviar House Prunier Seafood Bar, T2, T3, T4 & T5
• Wondertree, T2
• Big Smoke, T2
• Leon, T2
• The London’s, T2

The offer is available on Gordon Ramsay Plane Food all year round.

The age limits range between 10 and 12 years old, depending on the restaurant and there are a number of other restrictions, head to Heathrow website to find out more.

Meanwhile, if you’re planning on travelling through Heathrow Airport with young kids, it’s worth checking out their soft play areas.

Heathrow Airport has soft play areas in terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5.

It also has separate baby and junior zones, slides and colouring-in and activity sheets.

All its play areas are supervised except for Terminal 3. The play areas are open from 6am until 9pm everyday, and children must be accompanied by an adult.
