FESTIVE families are being invited to embrace the Christmas spirit and curb their hunger by sitting down for a slap-up meal with the big man himself.
Brewers Fayre Mulberry Tree, Braintree, is now running its interactive Breakfast with Santa experience, promising endless “fun for all the family”.
The unique seasonal dining event starts with guests being checked against the naughty or nice list by Santa’s trusty elves.
After receiving the all-clear, families then enjoy tabletop activities and indulge in the restaurant's unlimited buffet breakfast.
Shortly after finishing their grub, guests will embark on an unforgettable visit to Santa's onsite grotto, before engaging in other festivities.
A spokesman for Brewers Fayre Mulberry Tree said: "Our friends at the North Pole have created a magical Christmas experience for all the family to get you in the festive spirit.
"Don your favourite Christmas jumper, jingle those bells and get ready to make some amazing memories this Christmas.
"We can’t wait to give you a warm, festive welcome and experience brand new Christmas memories with you all - we’ll see you at the grotto."
The Breakfast with Santa events take place every Saturday and Sunday in December between 9am and 11.30am, as well as every day from December 19 until Christmas Eve.
