A GARDEN centre is offering Santa’s breakfast with a family dining experience in its Andover store.

Dobbies Garden Centre, in Salisbury Road, is tantalising tastebuds this Christmas with a Santa’s Breakfast and festive afternoon tea.

The store said it would be a chance for children aged three to 10 to take part in activities, get into the Christmas spirit, sing along to Christmas classics and receive a gift to take home and put under the tree.

Families in Andover can expect festive entertainment from Santa and his elves and a hearty breakfast.

Children can choose from a traditional breakfast of pork or Quorn sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns and baked beans, or opt for a breakfast roll.

All breakfasts are served with a choice of apple juice, orange juice or water.

Adults will also get a choice of breakfast options, including a traditional breakfast, vegetarian breakfast or three-item breakfast roll, each served with a hot beverage.

Andover Advertiser:

The store said the Christmas afternoon tea offering is great for couples, friends and families alike. It will include three tiers of seasonal bites to jingle the tastebuds.

Visitors can enjoy salmon, cream cheese and chive, and honey roast ham and mustard finger sandwiches in a mix of white and grain bread.

There would be Cornish clotted cream and jam scones and delicious selection of sweet treats, including blackberry delice, fruit and cream tart, carrot cake and a mini macaroon.

Children can also enjoy a mix of finger sandwiches, filled with ham, jam and tuna. In addition to Dobbies’ famous scones, kids will munch on Rudolph’s favourite snacks – carrot and cucumber sticks.

Adults will get the choice of unlimited tea and coffee refills, and children will receive a fruit juice. There will be additional extras for customers looking to wrap themselves in all the festivities, including prawn marie rose vol au vents, savoury cheese vol au vents and pigs in blankets with gravy and cranberry sauce. Drinks can also be upgraded for speciality coffees and teas, and if you fancy popping a bottle, there is an upgrade option for Prosecco.

Sarah Murray, who develops Dobbies’ festive line-up, wants to make this year one for customers in Andover to remember.
