An Emmy Award winning actor has named a Chinese restaurant just over the Wiltshire border as ‘one of his favourites in the UK’.
Hollywood’s Kiefer Sutherland, best-known for starring in the hit series ‘24’, is currently travelling the UK for his ‘Love Will Bring You Home’ tour.
The star was visiting the west country for a tour date in Bristol on Saturday, May 30, and was spotted on the streets of Bath and showering local businesses with praise.
On Sunday, May 31, Mr Sutherland posted a short video on Facebook in which he hailed Bath’s Peking Chinese restaurant on New Street, describing it glowing terms.
Standing outside the restaurant, Mr Sutherland said: “I don’t usually do this. But if you come to Bath and you don’t now where to eat, this is one of my favourite restaurants in the entire UK.”
On Friday, May 29, the star posted a promotional video for his newly-released album Grey – which his fans quickly realised had been shot in the distinctive streets of Bath.
Confirming that he had been in Bath, despite the city not appearing on the star’s list of tour dates, Mr Sutherland posted another video describing the city as “one of my favourite places to play and one of my favourite towns in the world.”
Kiefer Sutherland is a British-born Canadian actor and musician best known for playing counterterrorism agent Jack Bauer in the TV thriller “24”, a role that won him Emmy and Golden Globe awards.
Earlier in the week, this paper’s sister title the Bournemouth Echo reported that Mr Sutherland had been stunned by the packed beachfront over the May bank holiday.

Posting on his Facebook channel, he said: “Last night we played in Exeter, drove through the night and I woke up to this.”
Overlooking the pier, the international film star turned in amazement to see the crowded beach.
The star was then spotted in Oxford, when Julia Atkinson of Summertown bakers Happy Cakes met him outside the O2 Academy Oxford, where he was performing.
She said: “Having accidentally met Hollywood legend Kiefer Sutherland in Cowley Road in March 2020 whilst delivering cakes, I was excited to hear he was returning to the O2 Academy to promote his new album.
“I baked him some bespoke cupcakes and headed to the venue in the heat.
“My timing was perfect and he had just arrived, and was leaving the venue to walk in the city and make a short tour diary about being in Oxford.
“He was very friendly and charming and stopped to chat and take photos with the waiting fans.
“He remembered the cupcakes I’d given him on the previous occasion and said he was very happy to be back in a city as beautiful as Oxford on a stunning day.”
