Staff at local restaurant show Labour leader what Derry hospitality is all about

Staff from the Walled City Brewery pictured with Labour leader Keir Starmer during a visit to Derry.

Staff at the Walled City Brewery welcomed Keir Starmer to their restaurant for a bite to eat during his first trip to NI as Labour leader.  

On the two-day visit Mr Starmer spent time in a Belfast pub where he watched England's victory over Denmark in the Euro 2020 semi-final.

He has met politicians, senior police officers, Troubles victims and students.

Sharing a photo on Facebook, a member of staff at the Walled City Brewery said: "Well, it was fair to say our FOH team were rather excited to have a special guest join us for dinner this week!

"Not very often you’ll get our entire FOH team outside for a photo, slap bang in the middle of dinner service… must be a big deal

"We always regard it as a privilege, that of all the excellent restaurants in our wonderful city, you chose us!!

"Thanks for joining us Keir Starmer and colleagues. Maybe we’ll see you again soon."
