Chris Illman, 42, recently had a unique experience at a pub in Brighton. He was playing the Wetherspoon drinking game, which involves people drinking in Spoons posting their location and table number into a Facebook group. Unbeknownst to him, people from the group had used the pub’s app to send items to his table.
When Chris arrived at the table, he was shocked to find that he was left with 200 portions of bangers and mash. In addition to this, four bin bags of crisps and peanuts worth £3,000 had also been sent.
Chris, the founder of the game, was clearly overwhelmed by the success of the appeal. He said: “I was emotional seeing the success of the appeal. Being able to feed the homeless was so touching. I couldn’t believe how quickly we sold out of the food. 200 meals doesn’t scratch the surface but raising awareness to the group and the nation has been really positive.”
He had arranged it all with the manager and used the table number he had told the group to order to. He explained that he and his friends were “inundated with orders” and it was “so fun.”
Chris decided to donate all of the food to homeless people and charities. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer and had gone through a divorce, so it was especially meaningful for him to do this. He was able to make a positive impact with the Wetherspoon drinking game, and he was grateful for the opportunity.
