REGULARS at a country pub are getting used to being joined in the bar by famous faces.
A rock star, a soul singer and a top model have all dropped into the Rock Inn, at Waterrow, near Wiveliscombe, in recent weeks.
Owner Daren Barclay is getting used to posing for ‘selfies’ following visits from Oasis rock and roll wild man Liam Gallagher, model Jodie Kidd and singer Joss Stone.
“Jodie Kidd popped in while she was on a pheasant shoot,” said Daren, who previously cooked for the Goodwood Estate and at the Castle Hotel, in Taunton.
“Liam Gallagher had been doing a video shoot in Devon and just happened to pass by.
“He was a perfect gentleman and asked about family stuff. He was quite the opposite to how he portrays himself professionally.
“Joss Stone lives in Devon. My wife went up to her and said, ‘I’ve got to say, you look just like Joss Stone’.
“Joss said, ‘I get that all the time – and yes, it’s because I am Joss Stone. She was lovely and beautiful.”
