Wetherspoons owner Tim Martin has posed for a selfie with a pair of the chain’s superfans - who have visited hundreds of his boozers around the country. Phil, 74, and Julie Fox, 71, bumped into their idol at The Playhouse pub in Colchester, Essex.
The couple, from Brighthouse, West Yorkshire., have travelled all over Britain to sample a pint at every Wetherspoons in the UK, and have now visited over 300. The pair were in Colchester on a ‘nostalgic trip' where Julie grew up, and went to the pub for their tea where they mentioned to two members of staff what their mission was.
Later on as the pair were heading towards the bus stop, the staff members came running up the street looking for them, explaining how the Wetherspoons boss was in the pub.
