“Throughout the winter period, at our pubs and restaurants, we will be raising funds to support this great cause to help local people who are more vulnerable at this time of year.”
Each of its 14 pubs in the county will have Surviving Winter collection boxes.
All customers dining will be given a card with their bill promoting the appeal.

Paul Southworth OBE, the chair of Northamptonshire Community Foundation, said: “We are delighted to be McManus Pub Company’s charity of choice for 2016/17.
“Our Surviving Winter appeal supports Northamptonshire’s most vulnerable communities during the winter months.
“Over 300 people died last year from preventative winter deaths and therefore we’re delighted that with the funds raised through McManus, we’ll be able to support more people and put a stop to winter deaths.”
