Learn English – how to write an offer like this one

phrase-requestphrase-usagephrases

In "kids" offer, you can get the "kids meal" and another meal. For this other meal, you can choose between "Chicken meal" or "Beef meal".

I feel like using the phrases (Another meal) and (for this other meal) is not suitable. I asked someone I know what do you call a meal for adults, he said that it's just called a "meal". So how can I make sure that our clients understand that there's only one type of kids meal and two types of "Adults" meal and they can choose one of them?

Are the phrases correct and okay to use? I need the sentence to be as short as possible.

Buy any beef or chicken meal - get a Free kid's meal *

Then you put any restrictions in really small type right at the bottom of the page...

* Kid's meal is chicken nuggets & chips. One kid's meal offer per adult. Child must be accompanied by parent or guardian. Under 14s only. Terms & conditions apply. Participating outlets only.

;-)

More seriously, the way you have it worded at present makes it sound like any child can walk in, buy themselves a kid's meal, then get a free large meal for their parent... which I imagine is not how the offer works.

If it's an advert - a poster or in-store offer - you need to get the essential message across really quickly. Details come later.
Get them to understand that what you are actually selling is the beef meal & the chicken meal.
The "special offer" is the kid's meal.
Don't give them the impression, however fleeting, that what they are about to pay for is the kid's meal. It's not worth the arguments at the till between your staff & the customers who don't read so well, or don't read thoroughly.
