London's restaurants and cafés are rolling out a range of freebies for A-level students collecting their results on Thursday, August 13, 2026. Offers include a free quarter chicken at Nando's, a free dirty soda at TGI Fridays, and free classic pizzas for the first 30 diners at any Zizzi branch. These deals typically require students to show their grades and are often limited to dine-in or takeaway orders, so it's advisable to verify terms before ordering.
How to Claim the Offers
Many deals are available directly in-store, but some require advance online registration. Vouchers for Bella Italia, Banana Tree, and Frankie & Benny's must be signed up for online before visiting. Most offers begin at 8am, coinciding with when students can collect their results. It's estimated that around 250,000 young people will receive their grades across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
