Owners of The Wheelwright’s Arms, in Emsworth Road, Havant, marked two years at the pub by helping out Cash for Kids, a charity which supports children who are financially, socially, emotionally or physically disadvantaged.

Diners were invited to enjoy a tasty meal and then donate what they felt it was worth.

They raised more than £2,000 from the event.
