Two men have become the first to beat a Swanton Morley pub's steak-eating challenge.
The Macho Steak Challenge at Darbys Pub was introduced on January 12 and required entrants to eat a 38-ounce Tomahawk steak and sides in an hour.
And champion munchers Andy Clarke, owner of Big Andy's Gym, and Alistair Burny were the first to succeed.
Mr Clarke finished in just 41 minutes and 28 seconds and Mr Burny finished exactly one minute after at 42 minutes and 28 seconds.
Mr Clarke, who lives in Swanton Morley, recently came second at the International Strongman Competition.
The challenge costs £55 to enter and includes sides of onion rings, chips, fried mushrooms and tomatoes, sauce and one drink.
Those who can beat the challenge receive an 'I beat the Darbys macho challenge' t-shirt.
Bookings must be made before 9pm on Monday to do the challenge on Wednesday. The challenge must be done between 12pm and 2.30pm and 6pm and 8.30pm.
