Cocotte offers free children’s meals across London locations for October half-term

London-based rotisserie restaurant Cocotte will be offering free children’s meals across all its London locations on selected days during the October half-term holiday. From 27th to 31st October, kids under the age of 12 can eat for free from the restaurant’s Petit Poulet menu when accompanied by a paying adult. Founded in 2016 by Romain Bourrillon, Cocotte is a neighbourhood dining destination focusing on rotisserie chicken and other homemade dishes. The chain recently expanded with the opening of its sixth site in Richmond during the summer of 2024.

The Petit Poulet menu includes a starter, main course, side and sauce. Options for children include chicken tenders or popcorn chicken, with sides such as fries or mashed potato and a range of sauces. In addition to its children’s menu, Cocotte offers an all-day menu with a variety of salads, chicken in various portion sizes, and sides like truffle mac and cheese, soy chilli green beans and fries. The restaurant also serves brunch on weekends, offering dishes such as The Full Cocotte – which includes nduja beans, egg parfait, sausage, mushroom, bacon, grilled tomato and toasted sourdough – and both savoury and sweet waffle options. Their drinks menu features a selection of classic cocktails, as well as house specials like the Cocotte Spritz, made with rosé, sparkling wine, tonic and grapefruit. A curated wine list is also available by the glass or bottle.

Speaking about the restaurant’s approach, Cocotte’s team said the brand aims to offer “fresh, homemade dishes in a relaxed atmosphere”. The interiors of each location are designed to feel informal and welcoming, with a mix of banquette and bistro-style seating, wooden tables and adaptable lighting for different times of day.
