The pub, in Upper Shoreham Road, went head-to-head with more than 100 other Stonegate pubs in the southern region to compete and raise the most money for Cancer Research UK, setting a target of £1,000.

Colin Hawkins, regional operations director for Stonegate Pub Company, initiated the fundraising idea, which involves a five-mile race around London in full Spartan dress.

He said: “The team has done a fantastic job in raising so much money, it is an incredible achievement. I am delighted that they have won a space in our exciting chariot race.
