If you dine in at a Pizza Hut restaurant (find your nearest) during October half term, you can get one free kids' buffet meal for each adult spending £10 or more. The £10 spend is valid on any adult main (including the adult buffet). 

This deal is available every day from restaurant opening time (usually around 11am) until 3pm, and ends on Tuesday 5 November.

To redeem you'll need to enter the code: SPOOKY at the checkout when ordering via the Pizza Hut mobile system. You can't quote this code to staff, to get the deal you have to order via mobile. 

The free kids' buffet meal is for kids aged 12 and under. This is a dine-in offer only and only one code can be used per order. If you have two kids claiming a free meal each, these must be put through on a separate bill. 

The code can be used against the 'All-In' kids' buffet but an extra £2 charge will apply.
