One-half of Oasis once made a memorable visit to a Tom Kerridge pub in Marlow – prompting the Michelin-starred restauranteur to describe him as ‘very full-on’.
Liam Gallagher, whose brother and bandmate Noel lived in Chalfont St Giles for years, made quite an impression on Kerridge during a trip to The Hand and Flowers pub on West Street, the chef revealed in a recent podcast appearance.
In an interview with former X Factor presenter Kate Thornton on her podcast White Wine Question Time, Kerridge shared the two-word email he received from Liam after winning Celebrity Mastermind with Oasis as a specialist subject in 2016 – “Well done” – then recalled a memorable visit from the singer to his twice-Michelin-starred pub in Marlow, presumably at around the same time.
The 51-year-old said: “I love spending time with (Liam), he’s a very funny character, he’s very full on.
“He came to eat at The Hand and Flowers and not once did he stop being Liam Gallagher.
“He got there early, didn’t take his coat off, spent the whole lunch with his cagoule on, zipped up to the top.
“He was drinking espresso martinis from the start all the way through to the end and when he finished lunch, he moonwalked into the kitchen to thank all the chefs. It absolutely spun their heads.”

Liam and Noel will reunite next year for the first time since breaking up backstage at France’s Rock en Seine festival in 2009 to play a string of concerts in London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Dublin and Cardiff.
After years of public feuding, Liam spoke about Noel for the first time since the reunion concerts were announced this week, telling fans on social media that he “won’t have a bad word said” about his brother.
Replying to one tweet, he said: “It’s all done, peace has prevailed, he’s the man. I can’t wait to be on stage blowing him kisses in between each song.”
Tweeting for the first time since Oasis Live 25 was announced, he also addressed one fan’s ticketing concerns, with issues seeing fans being labelled bots and being kicked out of the queue and some ending up paying more than the advertised price of £148 as costs surged past £355.
Replying to a Twitter user who said he was kicked off the website while trying to buy tickets for the band’s Cardiff gig, Liam replied: “If that’s what happened I’m sure someone will be in touch coz that ain’t cool, good luck.”
In another tweet, he added: “I’m seriously gutted for people that can’t get tickets, I can’t even go there it hurts my heart and I know people will think I’m taking the p***, but I’m not.
“I want to celebrate this biblical moment with everyone I gotta go I’m sorry.”
