The Barge is well-known for its popular Man v Food challenges, but there has never been a huge prize like this one.

The chef cooking this unusually large portion of homemade spaghetti and meatballs is head chef Nick Taylor.

He said: "With it being Valentine's Day the next day, I think this is the least romantic thing a couple could do!

"The Man v Food challenges at The Barge are proving more popular than ever – this is what we are known for now.

"There will be a humongous plate full of spaghetti and meatballs with a delicious sauce ... but we are not revealing it to the public yet because people practice before the event.

"We have just about got big enough pans to cook it in!

"The most popular Man v Food has been the kilo burger challenge and the spicy chicken wings."

Owner Derrick Howard said the atmosphere has been immense during the challenges.

He said: "The pub comes alive with chanting and loads of people just come to watch and even film it.

"We will set the scene with some candles for this challenge.

"People who take part don't have to be partners, they can simply be friends or brothers and sisters."

Derrick said the challenge can be completed.

He added: "This challenge can be done so there will be plenty of people with a chance of winning the prize of two nights' bed and breakfast at the Premier Inn at Xscape in Castleford. It will be the biggest prize we have ever offered and next, we plan to do a chicken fajita Man v Food."

The Couples v Food challenge at The Barge is £14.95 per couple and they are now taking bookings.

It takes place at 8pm and the fastest couple wins the prize.

To book, call the pub on 01472 340911.

The event is sponsored by Skin Tattoo Studio, in Cambridge street, Cleethorpes.
