It was a pleasant surprise when a visitor to the Swan at Enford, a thatched pub tucked away in the folds of the Wiltshire countryside, found themselves being served a pint by one of the UK’s most famous actors.

“They had come in off the main road and asked if it was my pub,” said Rupert Everett, the star of films such as Another Country, My Best Friend’s Wedding and The Madness of King George.
