A-Level results day can bring a whole mix of emotions — but whether you’re celebrating or commiserating on August 13, plenty of restaurants are offering free food and discounts for students to enjoy.
From free gyoza and tacos to pizza, burgers and sweet treats, there are loads of ways to mark the occasion without spending a fortune.
Just remember to bring your results sheet and student ID where required and check that your local restaurant is participating.
Here’s Metro’s round-up of the best foodie offers you need to know about.

Students simply need to show their results dated for 2026 to collect a free tray of steamed chicken or vegetable gyoza, served with dipping sauce.
