As was the case on Tuesday, a number of famed restaurant chains are offering free food to students picking up their results - which will either help you to celebrate, or soften the blow of not receiving the grades you’d hoped for.

The UK’s most well-known chicken chain is offering a free quarter chicken or any starter to young students picking up their results today.
Of course, it’s not quite as simple as that. You’ll need to spend at least £7 on eat-in or walk-in collect orders to qualify for the offer.
“Don’t forget to bring your ID and results with you,” said a spokesman for the restaurant chain.

Bella Italia
2021 A Level and GCSE results receivers can claim a free dessert of their choice to really put the cherry on top of that post-results day family meal.
This offer runs until Friday 13 August, and can be combined with other student discounts for an even cheaper feast.

Las Iguanas
Churros are delicious, and this week (until 12 August) Las Iguanas have been offering free worths worth £4.95 to students collecting their grades.
Available in all of the chain’s locations - barring those in Centre Parcs resorts - all you need to do is mention the offer and show proof of your GCSE or A-level results to a member of staff taking your order.
