David Beckham yesterday made one of his regular visits to his favourite pie and mash shop.

The former England captain has been a loyal customer at Tony's Pie and Mash in Market Square, Waltham Abbey, for more then 15 years.

Beckham ordered two pies, two mash and a pot of jellied eels at around 3pm.

Restaurant manager Tony Lane said: "We get on really well.

"David's been coming here for around 15 years and it is nice as he is always a friendly face.

"He is a top bloke, really class."
