CUSTOMERS at a Little Lever pub could end up with egg on their faces - literally! And many of them are also likely to be sporting red noses.

Staff at the Seven Stars on Dovebank Road expect regulars to have a smashing time as they scramble to take part in a big charity stunt.

The pub is hosting a Russian Egg Roulette evening tonight in aid of Comic Relief.

Seven Stars licensee Katie Bozdogen said: "The event will be great fun to take part in and to watch. Each contestant will have three eggs - two hard boiled and one raw. Who will end up with egg on their face, there's a three in one chance!"

Tonight's Russian Egg Roulette is the first in a series of fund-raisers for Comic Relief.

Next Wednesday there is a pool, darts and table football tournament.

And on the eve of Comic Relief Day on March 11 a Ladies Night is being held with entertainment, dinner and raffles.

Tickets can be bought in advance from the pub on Bolton 709622.
