An escaped pig seemingly fancied a drink in a working men’s club and wandered in at 10pm. 

Locals were surprised to see the farm animal at Easington Colliery club in County Durham shortly before closing time. 

The pig, believed to be called Roddy, ran around the bar hoping to get strokes from punters. 

But as pigs are not allowed into the venue, customers managed to lure him outside with cheese and onion crisps until someone arrived to claim him who spotted what happened on Facebook.

The bar’s stewardess, Kayleigh Parkin, said: ‘I live on the premises so I was upstairs, and the bar staff phoned me and said “I’m sorry to disturb you but there’s a pig in the bar”.

‘They told me he’d been running about the bar and trying to get strokes from everybody.

‘They got some crisps from behind the bar and lured him outside with some cheese and onion.

‘We’ve got a garden down the bottom with a big fence so we kept him in there.

‘I put it on Facebook and someone said she knew the owner so someone came to pick him up after about 15 minutes.’

The pig is thought to have escaped from a nearby allotment.

Kayleigh said: ‘Everyone was laughing about it. It was a bit of entertainment for a Tuesday night.’
