The former England rugby player, 44, has previously attended the pre-Christmas feast with his wife Zara and their children Mia and Lena.
Senior royals including King Charles, Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children are regularly among guests.
Prince Andrew has also attends these event as well as Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Speaking with fellow rugby stars James Haskell and host Alex Payne, on podcast JOE UK’s House of Rugby, Mike revealed royal children don’t sit with other family members because they have their own table in a different room.
He said: “This is the other one, the family lunch, there must be about 70 of us there – there are seven tables and then the kiddies have their own little one in a different room.”
The royals throw an infamous secret Santa every year, with the theme ‘cheap and cheerful’.
Mike and Zara Tindall were seen wandering hand-in-hand today with daughter Lena who wore a smile ear to ear with her crimson dress.
They were among members of the Royal Family who were seen beaming with festive smiles as they joined the Royal Family Christmas walk.
Crowds had gathered as the family made their way to their public church service, as part of their traditional morning festivities.
Along with the Prince and Princess of Wales and children George, Charlotte and Louis, other royals were full of smiles, too.
The group walked along a path lined with fans as they made their way to St Mary Magdalene Church.
King Charles waved to crowds with a massive grin as he walked with Queen Camilla at his side.
Following the loss of his “beloved mother”, Charles shared an emotional tribute to the Queen in his first Christmas speech.
The Monarch, 74, announced that as he was broadcasting his festive message, he was not far from where his dear mother, and much-loved father, had been laid to rest.
His speech also acknowledged now is a “time of great hardship” for Brits amid the cost-of-living crisis.
The last 69 speeches had been made by the late Queen, and this was a historic moment for Charles.
