"Absolutely charming" James Bond actor Sir Roger Moore dropped in for lunch at a top East Devon pub yesterday.
The 86-year-old, who played the 007 secret agent for seven films between 1973 and 1985, enjoyed a homemade scotch egg and scampi with his wife and two friends at the award-winning Jack in the Green pub in Rockbeare.
He posed for a photo with owner Paul Parnell and explained he was en route to his one man show in Torquay and had read out how good the food was at the pub beforehand.
Sir Moore arrived at around 12.15pm and enjoyed half a local ale over lunch.
"He was an absolutely charming chap," said Paul.
"We had a booking under the name of Moore but you never know who the customer is until they arrive, so it was a complete surprise. I recognised him straight away.
"We always respect the privacy of our customers and let him enjoy his meal, but afterwards I couldn't help but chat to him and ask him for a photo, which he was delighted to do, as he's my son's favourite Bond!
"He's an absolute legend."
Sir Roger Moore is the oldest actor to play Bond and appeared in more of the spy films than any other actor.
