Louis Theroux braves the snow to dine at top Peak District restaurant

Tom Gouldburn who runs the award winning restaurant was thrilled to welcome documentarian Louis Theroux to his restaurant.

Tom said: “He booked the table in his name, not a fake name, so we knew he was coming.

“He dined off the al carte menu and was lovely to all the staff and servers.”

Posting on Facebook, the owners of the restaurant shared news of Louis’ visit. They wrote: “Had a special visitor for dinner last night. @officiallouistheroux popped in for a meal on this cold snowy January weekend.

“Hope you all enjoyed your meal, we certainly enjoyed serving you. We have braved the snow and are open today if you fancy a lovely roast dinner or even just a few drinks.”

This was head chef Simon Harrison’s second chance to cook for the household name and his family as he had the pleasure of cooking for him during Simon’s time at Lose Hill a few years ago.

Tom said: “It’s incredible to think that such a well-known figure, recognised across the country, chose to visit Chapel to try our food. Needless to say, we’re all thrilled.”

The picture taken of Louis’ visit will hang next to the awards and accolades the restaurant has received since it opened which have included two AA Rosettes and a spot in the Michelin Guide.
