Sometimes strangers can surprise you and that is exactly what happened with this 90-year-old man from the UK who had been having the same lunch alone every day at a pub – the man was stunned to discover that some strangers had left a £700 tab for him to buy things.
The man named Pete, lives alone and visits a pub in Chelmsford almost every day to eat Hunter’s chicken with a glass of wine, reported SWNS.

Almost every customer who visits the pub regularly knows Pete – he also happens to be a good friend of the pub owner Tim Mepham.
Tim posted a short clip of Pete on TiKTok and soon, it reached thousands of views – users asked how they could fund Pete’s everyday meal at the pub.

The pub owner then posted Pete’s table’s number and donations came through an app with hundreds of people ordering food for the elderly man. Eventually, a bar tab of £700 (Rs 72,000) was made available for Pete.
A video by SWNS shows Tim telling Pete that strangers from the internet have bought 90 glasses of wine for him, and the 90-year-old responds by saying, “But you’re gonna lose money.”
“Pete is genuinely one of the most polite gentlemen I’ve ever met. He’s so thankful for what we do for him, the time he spends with us and with what’s happened recently, and his sense of humour is razor-sharp,” Time was quoted as saying by The Sun.
“People bought Pete drinks because they just thought he was a nice guy. He isn’t in need, or poor and people didn’t pity him, they just loved him,” he added.
Tim has known Pete for more than three years now and describes him as a ‘perfect granddad’. He also claimed that Pete loves talking about his wife who passed away eleven years ago; he also talks about the time he served during the war.
