Zendaya and Tom Holland stun locals as they visit Cornish café

Hollywood stars Tom Holland and Zendaya surprised a local cafe owner in Cornwall when they visited her spot, Ramshackle Rosie, in Par on Tuesday.

Known for their roles in Spiderman: Homecoming, the couple enjoyed breakfast at the eatery, with Zendaya, 28, ordering pancakes with maple syrup, while Holland, also 28, opted for the 'Zeppelin' fry-up, named after the iconic rock band Led Zeppelin.

Cafe owner Helen Woodward admitted she had "no idea" who the A-list pair were at first.

“They came in, and I was busy serving other customers, so I told them to take a seat," she explained.

"I only have a small café, and they sat at my biggest table, which fits about five people. I asked if they wouldn’t mind moving to a smaller one, just in case a group came in."

It wasn’t until another customer clued her in on the couple's fame, telling her Holland was Spiderman.

Reflecting on their visit, Woodward told ITV West Country: “They were absolutely lovely, just a really nice couple. It was just the two of them, and they probably chose this place because it’s a bit out of the way.”

She added: “I didn’t even get a chance to chat with them, but I wouldn’t have anyway—they seemed like they didn’t want to be bothered. They did leave a £5 tip, though!"

Par local Rob Sheldon also interacted with the couple, chatting briefly with Holland, who admired his dog.

“He was really down to earth. We didn’t make a big deal about knowing who they were. After they left, I told the owner, ‘You know that was Spiderman, right?’”

Sheldon said the couple mentioned heading to a nearby Asda after breakfast, which Holland humorously compared to the American Target.

"It was a bit surreal, but they seemed very grounded," Sheldon told the broadcaster, adding, "And honestly, it's an awesome café.”

Elsewhere, Zendaya was recently seen enjoying a casual lunch in Notting Hill without her longtime boyfriend.

The couple, who met on the set of Spiderman in 2016 and have been together since 2021, share a £2.6 million home in Richmond, close to where Holland grew up.
