What famous people eat...

An occasional perk of being a waitress is getting to serve a famous customer. I remember most customers by what they order; fish finger happy meal family, salmon gravalax man, the lady who wants her brownie exactly ten minutes before she wants her coffee and then wants her bill exactly ten minutes after that. This is the same with famous customers. Therefore, I have decided to compile a list of the famous people I have served and what they ate. 

Sandi Toksvig - Table 2
Order: Green tea and an Oat and raisin cookie

Special features: None, although she didn't look too amused at my excitement to see her. After she left my Brazilian boss asked me if she was more famous than Jo Brand. 











Jacqueline Wilson - Table 13 
Order: Cauliflower and Keen's cheddar croquette followed by a peppermint tea.

Special features: None again. I was so amazed by her I couldn't go any where near her table and just giggled every time I had to pass.












Daniel Day Lewis - Table 6
Order: poached egg on a smoked haddock and potato and leek gratin with a side order of bread.

Special features: I took his credit card payment at the end and couldn't believe the worth of what I was holding in my hand. When he signed for the payment I effectively got his autograph.












Iain Glen - Table 4
Order: Classic cream tea for two with English breakfast tea.

Special features: A lovely man, and generous tipper.














I will keep you updated if this list grows.
