People can get a free dessert at a pub chain in exchange for donating a toy.

A slice of raspberry trifle cheesecake will be given to anyone who donates a toy at their nearest Hungry Horse pub on Thursday, November 14 including the Vine Inn in Romsey Road, Ower.

The toy can be new or pre-loved and will be re-homed to families in need.

Hungry Horse hopes to collect 5,000 toys in the first 24 hours of its 'Toy Boxing' charity initiative.

The campaign marks the fourth consecutive year of the scheme, which last year saw nearly 17,000 toys donated to children across the UK.

This year, the pub chain aims to surpass the 20,000 mark.

Sarah Williams, senior marketing manager at Hungry Horse, said: "We're proud to bring back our annual toy donation scheme for a fourth consecutive year.

"This year, we want to thank all our amazing customers for their donations by offering a free slice of our delicious raspberry trifle cheesecake to anyone who is able to gift a toy to someone in need in their local area.

"So, head on down to your local Hungry Horse on November 14, donate a toy, and enjoy a tasty dessert on us."
