Ross Kemp Visits Box Steam Brewery‘s Flagship Pub

BAFTA award-winning actor, author and journalist Ross Kemp paid a surprise visit to a rural Wiltshire pub this weekend; Mr Kemp spent the early part of Saturday evening in the riverside gardens of The Cross Guns at Avoncliff – the flagship pub of the Box Steam Brewery – where he enjoyed drinking the
multiple-award winning Tunnel Vision ale.

Staff and customers alike were surprised to find themselves in the company of the celebrity, who had called in to the Cross Guns at Avoncliff with his girlfriend whilst enjoying a break from filming.
Bar manager Emily Weymouth and waitress Sophie Upton (British under-23 National Pole Vault champion) enjoyed chatting to the star and were able to have their photo taken alongside him.

Ross Kemp joins an impressive list of celebrities to have visited the charming 16th Century pub in recent years, including Gary Oldman, Kevin Spacey, Harry Enfield, Ruby Wax and Phil Spencer.

Brewery manager Gordon King commented “It is always a pleasure to hear of people enjoying our quality hand-crafted ales, especially well-known individuals such as Ross Kemp – perhaps the Queen Vic may soon start serving Tunnel Vision?!”
