CELEBRITY chef Anthony Worrall Thompson is getting ready to cook in a Heytesbury pub.

The TV chef was named yesterday as executive head chef at the Angel Coaching Inn responsible for setting menus and running the kitchen.

Customers will be made meals by the Ready Steady Cook star at least once a month after London based restaurateurs Chakalaka Ltd bought the pub.

David Wilby, partner, said: "We are not looking to do anything posh, the Angel will remain a friendly and simple restaurant.

"We wanted to get away from London Heytesbury is perfect.

"Anthony and I have been friends for over 20 years. We expect he will be around to meet locals over Christmas."

The pub will close for a month at the end of January for refurbishment.
