Young’s Pubs and Geronimo Inns pubs reveal the bizarre items left during the Christmas party season
Following a survey of over 170 Young’s pubs and Geronimo Inns pubs, Young's reveal the bizarre items left furing last year's Christmas party season including a stuffed otter, a prosthetic leg and even a pet dog.
As the party season approaches, Young’s has revealed its catalogue of lost property, party paraphernalia and forgotten Secret Santa presents. While the list features many of the everyday essentials we can’t live without – phones, house keys, train tickets and bank cards – some of the more unusual finds have amazed staff and raised a few eyebrows at the same time.
Emma Dickinson, Events Manager for Young’s said: “It’s truly remarkable to read the list of lost items from last year’s Christmas parties, particularly those items that are valuable, sentimental or just simply bizarre. With this year’s Christmas party bookings looking stronger than ever, I have no doubt we will see even more of the quirky and peculiar.”
Among other leftovers found by pub staff were novelty Christmas underwear, a brand new man’s suit, a police officer’s CID badge, a child’s pram, full bottles of champagne and a designer gold watch. Staff at the White Horse, in London, discovered a watch and a bag worth £1,000 after a party last year and at the Double Locks in Exeter, Devon, staff returned a set of misplaced false teeth to their owner.
At the Hollywood Arms in Chelsea, a slightly forgetful regular brought his elderly jack Russell dog to the pub for a party and forgot to take it home at the end of the night. Hollywood Arms Pub Manager, Giovanni Pilla said: “We see this dog in the pub fairly often, he’s always by his owner’s side. Whilst the owner was indulging in one or two festive tipples, Benson found a spot under the booths and fell asleep and only reappeared when staff were cleaning – he was given a bed for the night and reunited with his owner the next day.”
