Easter egg scoffing…for charity

When punters from one pub in Hartlepool fall FOWL on the high seas they won’t CRACK up because they know there will be a GRADE A rescue service on hand after their EGG-cellent fundraising*.

The Cosmopolitan, on Hartlepool’s headland, will be running a boiled egg eating competition on Easter Sunday to raise money for the local Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).

The premise is simple. Eat as many boiled eggs as you can in the shortest possible amount of time.

They aren’t quite sure what the turnout will be like just yet but all you need to know if you’re thinking about heading along is you name needs to be over the bar before the 3pm start time.
