Kids Eat for £1 This Summer at Havens Connections Café, Newhaven.

Families across the Havens can enjoy big savings this summer with the “Kids Eat for £1” offer at Havens Connections Café. Running weekdays from 10am to 3pm, the scheme provides children with a hot, nutritious meal or a takeaway lunch box for just £1 and there’s no minimum spend required.

Launched in August 2024 and running throughout the year, the initiative is part of the café’s mission to support families during the cost-of-living crisis. “We know many families are struggling,” said Café Manager Julia Dunstan. “This is about easing some of that pressure. Children can get a healthy, tasty lunch at a price that’s affordable.”

Located in Hillcrest Community Centre, the café is known for its warm atmosphere and fresh, kid-friendly meals like jacket potatoes, sandwiches, and daily specials.

The café also offers a pay-it-forward scheme, allowing visitors to donate meals for others facing food insecurity, or access meals themselves.
