Regulars at a working men’s club in County Durham were left squealing with laughter after a pig made its way into the bar on Tuesday night.
The pig, named Ronnie, managed to get inside Easington Colliery Club just after 10pm after following a customer in from the street.
Footage shows the friendly porker being stroked by bemused punters who even fed him cheese and onion crisps.

Staff eventually managed to lure the pig outside with the help of the crisps.
It is thought the pig escaped from nearby allotments, perhaps when someone tried to steal him, before trotting in to the club.
Bar manager, Kayleigh, said: ‘He followed a customer in from the street, doors were open.
‘He was very friendly and tried to get petted off multiple people and eventually they got him outside with a packet of cheese and onion.
‘I came down and with the promise of more crisps got him locked behind the club’s fence.’
Ronnie, and his brother Reggie, are named after London East End gangsters The Krays and are kept on a nearby allotment. The pigs are New Zealand Kunekunes.

Their owner Anthony Berry, 32, said he heard about the escape on social media.
He told The Sun: ‘I saw a pig had wandered into the club and I knew it would be one of mine.
‘Ronnie and Reggie are house trained. They’re really friendly.’
Club secretary Stephen Foster, 69, added: ‘He seemed perfectly at home.
‘It sounds like someone tried to steal him. They’d better hope he doesn’t squeal.’
