Customer at Calverley’s New Inn have been ‘eggs-tra’ generous donating more than 350 chocolate eggs for young patients.
Licencees Steve Armitage and Nick Marshall have been distributing the tasty treats around children’s wards at Leeds General Infirmary and St James’ Hospital’s cancer unit as well as Martin House Hospice.
Mr Armitage said: “It’s good to do something for the kids. We got a lovely letter from someone whose son got an egg that he was too ill to eat just yet, but was excited about saving it for when he was better. It’s very humbling to get thanks like that, it’s better than any certificate and it’s all down to our wonderful customers.”
Over the past six years the pub has collected thousands of eggs and in the eight years Mr Armitage and Mr Marshall have been behind the bar, more than £5,000 has been raised for worthy causes.
