Supermarket chain Aldi has organised for wine, sausages, boardgames and de-icer to be delivered to staff and customers stuck at Tan Hill.
Four guests and six staff remain at the Tan Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales today after being snowed in since Saturday.
Aldi hired a farm contractor to get emergency rations to the pub after hearing how guests had been left stranded by the snow at the weekend.
The snow plough consignment included Malbec wine, sausages, de-icer, toilet paper, as well as boardgames and colouring books.
Dog treats were also sent.
A spokesperson for Aldi said: “When we saw the guests had run out of key supplies and faced further days trapped by the snow, our store team at Catterick sprang into action, commandeered a farmer’s snow plough and set off to deliver a care package”.
A total of 23 customers and six staff were originally stuck inside the pub, which is situated 528 metres (1,732 ft) above sea level but were released after snow ploughs and local farmers reached the pub on Tuesday.
During their lock-in, the pub-goers kept themselves entertained with snowball fights, movies, games and a disco.
Pub manager Nicole Hayes said that the supermarket supplies would lift the spirits of her remaining snowed-in guests.
She said: “Everybody needs a good pork sausage – and when we realised Aldi had come to the rescue, we were absolutely chuffed – it definitely livened up our lock-in.”
Snowed in guest Angus Leslie, said: “Thanks to Aldi we can now stay for longer. Bring on the snow.”
Landlord Andrew Hields said “Cheers Aldi for sorting us with our sausages and wine — our knights in shining snow plough.”
