A-Level results day 2026 takes place on Thursday, August 13, and thousands of students across the country will learn their grades. Many cafes and restaurants, including Nando's, Frankie & Benny's and Slim Chickens, are offering freebies and discounts to mark the occasion.
Restaurants and cafes may require proof of grades, so students should bring their official results. Some venues may also ask test questions.
Restaurant Offers on Results Day
Ask Italian is offering a free main meal to A-Level students on Thursday, with a twist. Students must bring their official results and a parental figure, who will be asked an exam-style question. If the parent answers correctly, the student gets a free main meal. If not, the restaurant offers a complimentary glass of fizz or a non-alcoholic alternative.
Bird & Blend is giving students a free iced matcha worth £5.25. Students and teachers can pick up an iced Superstar Matcha for free by showing their A-Level results. The offer is available at stores nationwide, including Manchester's shop on Church St in the Northern Quarter.
Bills is offering a free dessert to A-Level students who show their 2026 results.

Slim Chickens' Campaign

Tom Patrick, Marketing Director at Slim Chickens UK, said: "Results Day is a massive moment. For some people it’s a day of celebration, for others it might not quite go to plan – but either way, we think everyone deserves some free chicken. This is our biggest targeted student campaign to date, and rather than lead with a discount, we wanted to put the product we’re most famous for directly into students’ hands."
