TV star Gregg Wallace paid a visit to a York pub to film for a show coming out next year.
The Guy Fawkes Inn, on High Petergate, welcomed the popular MasterChef co-presenter through its doors last night.
Gregg tucked into a pie created by head chef Adie Knowles, which the presenter said he loved.
Simon Cotton, managing director of HRH Group which owns and operates the medieval inn, chatted to Gregg during his visit.
“He’s a very, very funny chap," Simon said.
“He had a whole catalogue of jokes and as I like a good joke too, we seemed to hit it off as we tried our best to get the best laugh! I’ve long enjoyed seeing Gregg on TV as he’s a lively and positive character and he certainly doesn’t disappoint in the flesh. He was a real gentleman and was kind and polite to the staff of the inn."
Simon added: “To have a top food critic who’s spent so many years on a TV classic like MasterChef, come and eat in one of your venues, is a great honour and we look forward to seeing the programme air next year."
