ONE might not expect to see to many celebrities in St Breward, but for the Old Inn Resturant landlord Darren Wills, it’s quite a regular occurrence.

Last month, actress Jane Horrocks, best known for her roles of Bubble and Katy Grin in 1990s sitcom Absolutely Fabulous, visited the pub with friends while in the area filming with a band.

The 53-year-old, who also starred in The Rise and Fall of Little Voice and was nominated for a BAFTA and Golden Globe award for her reprisal of the role in 1998, was a great guest.

Darren said: “I was on the bar when she came in and straight away recognised her. She sat in our main bar in front of the wood burner they stayed most of the evening.

“She was a very lovely, bubbly character, loved The Old Inn and said our food was wonderful, as well as drinking Doombar and a couple bottles of wine.

“She said and would be back again when in the area so it was great to see her.”

Horrocks is not the only famous face to go through the restaurant’s doors.

Darren continued: “We also have Will Young that has a property in the village. He often comes into the Old Inn when he is not so busy in London, while Dawn French often visits us with her mother. They both love our Sunday carvery. It’s always great to have these kind of people come into the pub.”
