Whitbread's "ultimate eatery" Taybarns is offering customers an all-they-can-eat Christmas Day dinner at £27.50 and £12.50 for children.
Taybarns, which operates in seven sites, does not usually take bookings but is offering the Christmas Day menu at £25 for adults and £10 for children if customers book before 1 November.
The menu features baked salmon fillet, prawn cocktail, turkey skewers, turkey and cranberry pizza, roast turkey with all the trimmings and Christmas pudding as well as the usual Taybarns' 34-metre food counter offer, which includes soups, salad, rotisserie and chip shop.
The brand is also offering a Christmas feast menu from 1 December to 30 December. The offer is £5.99 for adults and £3.99 for children. The feast menu features turkey and chipolata skewers, turkey and cranberry pizza and turkey and all the trimmings. Children eat free on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.
Taybarns has been marketing the all-you-can-eat concept to students at university fresher fairs. Students could win a free meal at the concept by bathing in a Taybarns branded bath of beans.
It has added a chip shop range to its food counter, featuring chips, battered fish, fishcake, beef & onion pie. Whitbread may convert 30 of its sites to Taybarns.
