Hollywood star Kiefer Sutherland unexpectedly stopped at Drake’s restaurant in Knaresborough while taking a break from filming his upcoming Christmas movie Tinsel Town. The film, set to feature Rebel Wilson, Danny Dyer, Jason Manford, Derek Jacobi, and Lucien Laviscount, is currently being shot in Yorkshire.
On the evening of February 14, 2025, Sutherland walked into the restaurant and ordered a traditional meal of fish, chips, gravy, and a side of hand-battered scampi. Staff at the restaurant were stunned to see the actor, who was described as friendly and engaging with everyone around him.
Restaurant worker Karen Rankine, a longtime fan of Sutherland’s work, recalled how excited they were to have him dine there. She noted that customers have since visited the restaurant after hearing about his visit, with many eager to experience the same meal. She believes Tinsel Town will bring even more attention to Knaresborough once it is released.
With word spreading quickly, the town already sees increased interest, proving the power of a Hollywood name in a small but charming setting.
