A Michelin-starred celebrity chef surprised diners when he popped into a family-owned restaurant in Norfolk.
Tom Kerridge, who has appeared on MasterChef, Saturday Morning Kitchen and the Great British Menu, dined at The Mulberry Tree in Attleborough on Friday night.
The 53-year-old was in the county to race alongside fellow Michelin-starred chef Claude Bosi in the PBS Brakes SuperSport Endurance Cup at Snetterton Circuit.
“We were told by his friends who made the booking, but didn’t tell the chefs until after the cheque," Shaun Van Looy, one of the managers at the Mulberry Tree, said.
“He [Kerridge] was brilliant - he took the time out after his meal to meet the owners as well as the chefs and took the time to speak with them and take photos.”
The Mulberry burger, which comes with fries, was Kerridge’s main course of choice.
“He then had the chocolate marquise for dessert, as we have a very talented pastry chef, he was very excited about it,” Mr Van Looy added.
