Our VIP Guest!

Our vip guest!

When you receive a 7am table reservation telling you to wear your best bib and tucker and don’t leave your curlers in you just know It going to be an interesting day. Most of you will probably recognise Jason Watkins from the fabulous supermarket comedy programme Trollied,  amongst other things. Jason was a guest of Chris Bethell (Barrow Police), and stayed at Abbey house hotel last night before coming to Abbey Mill for lunch. Asking  Jason what he thought of our stunning furness abbey in the beautiful sunshine today he said he thought it was definitely the tallest Abbey he had visited,  but seemed more intrigued by the amphitheatre hill. I asked Jason why he was visiting Barrow and he replied “i've been in the cells”. Chris is helping Jason with some research and gave him a tour of Barrow police station. It was great to meet Jason and welcome him to Abbey Mill but I do hope Chris had time to show Jason the stunning scenery of furness before he left for his journey home.

But who knows, maybe he will be back. what a great guy!
