A kids meal in Great Barr does not need to be complicated: at Kebys it is a £4.49 Kids Box with a hot main, a portion of fries and a drink, made to order and out of the door fast. The right size, the right price, and dinner sorted without a fuss. Here is exactly what goes in the box, who it suits, how to fold it into a bigger family order, and everything a careful parent wants to know about drinks, veggie choices and allergens.
What's in the Kebys kids meal in Great Barr?
The Kids Box gives you a main, fries and a drink for £4.49. You pick one of three mains:
- Chicken Nuggets (4) and Fries, the classic. Crispy, hot and reliably child-approved.
- Fish Fingers (3) and Fries, for the child who would always choose fish.
- Quorn Nuggets (4) and Fries (V), vegetarian, properly meat-shaped, ideal for kids who do not eat meat.
Every box also comes with:
- A drink. A Fruit Shoot or a small can, picked at the order step. Water is there too if you would rather keep it simple.
- Fries. A small portion, properly salted, and no chillies anywhere near it.
That is the whole thing. One tidy box, one price, and no negotiating at the table over what came with what. If you want to see how it sits alongside the rest of the range, the full Kebys menu lays out every kebab, pizza, burger and side in one place.
Which main to pick usually comes down to the child. The chicken nuggets are the safe crowd-pleaser and the one most kids ask for by name. The fish fingers suit the child who genuinely prefers fish, and they are a lighter option if your little one is not ravenous. The Quorn nuggets look and eat almost exactly like the chicken version, which makes them an easy swap for a vegetarian child who does not want to feel like they are missing out. All three land at the same £4.49, so nobody pays a penalty for choosing the veggie route.
Kebys is a brand-new Great Barr takeaway, and the Kids Box was built the same way as the grown-up food: fresh, made to order, and cooked when you ask for it rather than sitting under a lamp. If you are new to the place, our guide to Kebys in Great Barr walks through who we are and what we do differently.
Who is the £4.49 kids box for?
The portion is sized for children roughly 4 to 12 years old. For a toddler, half a Kids Box usually does the job, and the fries alone will keep a smaller one happy while the rest of the table eats.
For an 11 or 12-year-old with a proper appetite, the box can feel a touch small. In that case it is worth stepping up to a 9-inch Margherita pizza (£7.99) or a single Beef Burger with fries (£6.99) from the main menu. Both still land in child-friendly territory on price and portion, and there is no chilli heat to worry about.
The fries portion is generous enough that a hungry child will not be left wanting, and the nugget, fish or Quorn portion fills them up without being overwhelming. It is the kind of meal that gets eaten rather than pushed around the plate.
Getting children to actually finish a meal is half the battle, and the NHS Healthier Families advice on child-sized portions is a sensible read if you are ever unsure how much a young child really needs. The Kids Box is deliberately pitched at that smaller, realistic level.
How do you fit a kids meal into a family order?
Most families order the Kids Box in one of two ways.
One child, one adult
Add a single Kids Meal at £4.49 to your own order. Pair it with a Munchbox at £13.49 for yourself, which is a burger plus kebab meat, salad, fries and a soft drink, and you have a properly fed dinner for two at £17.98. It is a easy midweek shout when nobody wants to cook.
A houseful of kids
Two, three or four children means two, three or four Kids Meals, stacked at £4.49 each. That works well and keeps everyone with their own box.
Once you are feeding the whole household, though, it is worth comparing against the family deals. The Full House at £54.99 brings two 16-inch pizzas, four burgers, two large fries, four desserts and a 1.5-litre bottle, enough for four to six people. Children can take pizza slices instead of nuggets, and per head it often works out cheaper than stacking individual Kids Boxes once the adults are eating too. Our family takeaway deals guide breaks down which deal suits which size of table.
What about veggie, vegan and allergen-aware kids?
The Quorn Nuggets option is the dedicated vegetarian Kids Box at £4.49. Quorn is a mycoprotein grown from a natural fungus, and it has the substance and shape children expect from a nugget without any meat. If you are curious about what mycoprotein actually is, Wikipedia's overview of mycoprotein is a clear, neutral explainer.
For strictly vegan children, note that Quorn typically contains egg, so it is not always suitable. We do not currently have a fully vegan children's option — ask us when you order and we will tell you honestly what can be made to suit.
On allergens, please tell us what your child can and cannot have at the order step or on the phone. All our food is prepared in a single kitchen, so shared-fryer and trace-contact points matter:
- Gluten. Our fryers are shared with breaded items, so nothing from the fryer is suitable for a coeliac child.
- Dairy. Several items contain or may contain dairy — tell us about any dairy allergy when you order and we will check what suits.
- Nuts. We cannot rule out nut traces in the kitchen, so always tell us about a nut allergy when you order.
For anything more specific, ask when you order and we will talk it through. If you want to understand the fourteen major allergens takeaways must declare, the Food Standards Agency guidance on food allergy is the authoritative source, and it is worth a look before you order for a child with a known allergy.
When and where can you order a kids meal in Great Barr?
You will find Kebys at 3 Bowstoke Road, off Newton Road, Great Barr, B43 5EB, with free parking right outside. We are open Tuesday to Saturday 4pm to 10pm and Sunday 3pm to 8pm, closed Monday. Last orders go in shortly before 10pm.
On a school night when the children want feeding quickly, order online at kebys.co.uk for collection. Put the order in about five minutes before you leave home and it will be ready as you pull up, so nobody is waiting around with hungry kids in the back of the car.
Prefer it brought to the door? The delivery apps carry the Kids Meal across Great Barr, Perry Barr, Kingstanding, Hamstead and Pheasey, and out toward Sutton Coldfield, through Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo. Whether you are near the Scott Arms or tucked off Newton Road, the box arrives hot with the fries still crisp. Ordering the children's food on the same delivery as the adults' means one drop, one set of fees and a table that all sits down together, which is worth remembering on a busy weeknight.
A quick tip for families: because every box is made to order rather than reheated, it pays to send the order in a few minutes ahead. Give the kitchen a short head start and collection is almost instant, or your delivery driver is not left waiting. You can also follow @kebysuk on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok to see what is coming out of the kitchen, plus the odd behind-the-scenes look at how the food is put together.
Happy kids, easy dinner. That is the whole point of the £4.49 Kids Box, and it is ready whenever you are.
