Does Nando’s do Results Day freebies?

If there’s one place you’re guaranteed to bag yourself a freebie on Results Day it’s Nando’s. Our favourite lunch spot, Nando’s is known for treating students each year when A Level results are released. 

But what exactly can you get for free? If past years are anything to go by, you’ll be able to get yourself a free starter or a free ¼ chicken just by showing your A Level results and student ID at the till. You’ll also need to spend at least £7 or more, but that’s pretty easy to do in Nando’s - a bottomless drink costs £3.95 and a regular side of peri chips costs £3.75. 

It’s not just A Level students who get the pleasure of a Results Day freebie either - GCSE, National 5 and Scottish Highers students can also get the same perk when they get their results! 

Does Wagamama do Results Day freebies?

The Japanese-inspired chain launched its first ever A Level results day freebie in 2024, so hopefully they'll repeat the treat this year too...

Last year, students receiving their results were eligible for a free side and drink - you just needed to sign-up to Wagamama’s loyalty programme, Soul Club, and show your results when you order.

Does Frankie & Benny’s do Results Day freebies?

Last year, Frankie & Benny's offered students a free ten-inch San Francisco style sourdough Margherita Pizza (with a vegan option also available), so we’d advise keeping a lookout for a similar freebie offer this Results Day!

All students need to do is show their UCAS results and purchase a soft drink that is just £3.

Sadly, the freebie cannot be redeemed in conjunction with any other offer, however if you’re looking for another sweet Frankie & Benny’s offer, you can get 20% off food with TOTUM.

Does TGI Friday’s do Results Day Freebies?

Okay, so it’s not quite a freebie, but TGI Friday’s gives TOTUM members 20% off food - not just on Results Day mind! The famous chain has also just undergone a rebrand, really focusing in on their heritage and a brand new Grill-craft menu that boasts Louisiana Ribs that fall off the bone and juicy New York Strip steaks to name but a couple...

Where does free burgers on Results Day?

We've had a look and it seems that neither MacDonald's or Burger King have given out freebies on results days in the past - but you never know... However, at Byron Burgers they are much more generous as you can grab yourself a free Proper Burger from their main menu, no purchase needed.

Options include classic beef, crispy chicken or a juicy vegan option, so all bases are covered - just bring along your results to prove you're eligible!

It's not a freebie, but TOTUM members can also get 20% student discount at Gourmet Burger Kitchen!

Does Greggs do free food on Results Day?

Sadly, it seems that Greggs does not offer results day freebies (shall we launch a petition?) However, Starbucks has offered a free cookie with any beverage in the past and if it's a real sweet treat you're after, Where The Pancakes Are have offered a Free Doughlicious cookie dessert and a glass of Prosecco/Mimosa on previous results days...

Can I get free cinema tickets on Results Day?

CINEWORLD WEBRIMG 1920X1080 MAR25

We can't find anywhere doing free cinema tickets, but we have found that Showcase Cinemas have offered free medium popcorn with a cinema ticket purchase in the past... If you fancy a movie to celebrate the day be sure to take advantage of that deal.

TOTUM members can also treat themselves to 2 x 2D tickets for just £14 at Cineworld, so if you and a friend fancy a cheap movie night, you can find out more here. Oh, and you can check out some of the best movies out this summer here as well!

How do I claim my A Level Results Day Freebies?

With all these great results day freebies available the last thing you want to do is miss out, so be sure to follw the steps below to give yourself the best chance of celebrating in style...

  1. Follow your favourite restaurants on social media - this way you should catch any last minute offers or changes as they go live.

  2. Download apps or join loyalty schemes ahead of time - got a specific place in mind? Check what the requirements are to get the results day deal you want and make sure to download their app or join their loyalty programme in advance.

  3. Book ahead - If you and your friends or family want to cash in on a deal there's a good chance other people will too! Places offering results day deals can get really busy, so it's probably best to book ahead if you can.

  4. Check T&Cs - Make sure you double check the terms and conditions before you set your heart on your freebie - they may be limited to specific times or locations or may include a minimum spend.

  5. Take your proof! Most places will want to see evidence that you've got your results, so be sure to have your results slip to hand as well as a student ID, and proof-of-age (which you can get for FREE with TOTUM+) so you don't miss out at the last hurdle!

Enjoy the day!
