BONFIRE night went off with a bang — or should it be banger — at the Who'd Have Thought It Inn, Milton Combe, on November 5.

The pub marked 'British Sausage Week 2008' by offering customers dishes of sausages, flavoured mashed potatoes and homemade gravy.

The menu had six different types of sausage, including those made with local game.

Throughout the week the inn donated £1 from every sausage sale to the Chestnut Appeal at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth. The charity gives treatment and information for men and families in Devon and Cornwall who suffer from prostate cancer.

Ruth Linford and Chris Lisney are the pub's landlords.

Ruth told the Times: 'We chose the Chestnut Appeal because my mum Brenda works in the urology department at Derriford Hospital and we thought it would be good to support one of the smaller charities.'
