Liam Gallagher came into my chippy while on holiday and changed my view of him – here’s why
ROCKER Liam Gallagher enjoyed a wonder haul of grub from a local chippy while on his holidays.
The singer tucked into a fish supper with mushy peas and a battered sausage — but there was no roll with it.
Liam, who is better known for caning cigarettes and alcohol, also posed for photographs with staff and customers at Toll Bar Fish and Chips in the Peak District.
He is thought to have been staying in a holiday cottage near Stoney Middleton, Derbys.
The village has just 470 residents but is popular with tourists and rock climbers and the chippie has also been visited by Tom Cruise while filming Mission: Impossible.
Owner Peter Grafton said that former Oasis frontman Liam, 50, ordered a selection of food including fish, chips, peas, curries, pies and a battered sausage.
Mr Grafton said the star, in a cagoule to keep the drizzle off, was later happy to have his picture taken with his wife Kirsten.
He said: “He’s such a familiar face. The shop was very, very busy.
“A few people approached him for photographs and he was very, very polite. He was lovely.
“My wife asked if he was enjoying Derbyshire and he said, ‘Very much, it’s a nice place’.”
Mr Grafton said the encounter with Liam had changed his view of the singer.
He said: “I wasn’t a fan of his because of the persona that comes over but, having met him, I have to say my opinion has changed 100 per cent.
“We get them all. Jarvis Cocker, Tom Cruise — they all like to come to Stoney Middleton.”
Liam posted about his holiday tea on Twitter.
When asked by one of his 3.6million followers what the battered sausage was like he replied: “It was the whole experience. It was absolutely incredible.”
A source said: “The staff found Liam great.
“He was chilled out and really enjoyed his time in Derbyshire.”
