Liverpool restaurant offering free meals all day

Vietnamese restaurant Pho is offering a complimentary meal for participants of Sunday's Santa Dash. The Castle Street venue will give runners a bowl of pho completely free of charge so long as they appear in their full Santa outfit.

The annual five-kilometre trek sees thousands of people in Santa outfits running through the streets to raise money for charity. This year's dash starts at Pier Head at 9.30am before moving through the Royal Albert Dock and around the city centre.

Runners will be greeted at the Liverpool Town Hall finish line by a festive showcase with characters on stilts and 'real'' snow. Once there, runners can get a free bowl of pho at the Castle Street restaurant at their leisure.
