However, she says she has been overwhelmed by the response with the bath overflowing with hundreds of donations.
Donna, 47, who has run the pub for the past eight years, said: "The bath has been overflowing at times so I have had to take a lot of it out.
"We have been completely overwhelmed by the response and I am sure the hospital will be delighted with these goods.
"These items have been given to patients with no family members to care for them and assist them with their bathing needs.
"Our customers have been so generous donating everything from soaps to bubble baths, shampoo, body scrubs and moisturisers; they are so kind and always get behind our fundraising efforts."
