‘Just a person who liked chips’: Bristol takeaway celebrates Cary Grant ties

Rendezvous restaurant loved by young Archibald Leach marks film star’s 120th birthday

There was singing, story-telling, sparking wine – and chips galore as a double anniversary celebration was staged for a Hollywood star and the modest restaurant and takeaway he used to love.

The joyful bash was held to mark what would have been Cary Grant’s 120th birthday and the 60th anniversary of the Rendezvous fish and chip shop that the actor used to frequent in his home town of Bristol.
