A FAMILY restaurant has launched a search for children with the same name as its mascot.

Brewsters, at Tindale Crossing, near Bishop Auckland, County Durham, is one of 139 sites taking part in the hunt for a child aged between three and eight with the surname Brewster.

The winner will enjoy a VIP party with seven friends, who will be among the first to celebrate the firm's new birthday package.

Manager of Tindale Crossing, Noel Mclay said: "Although it's not a common surname, we're hoping that we'll track down someone who can join our cuddly mascot for a really good party.

"It doesn't have to be the child's birthday, it's just an excuse to have a good time."

To enter the competition, call 0161-234 9778 and leave the child's full name and age, as well as a contact number by Friday, August 23.
