Restaurant names big fry-up after Scots star Gerard Butler

HOLLYWOOD movie star Gerard Butler has had a breakfast named after him by restaurant staff at a Scots garden centre close to where his is presently filming.

Cardwell Garden Centre’s Patio Restaurant, near Gourock has re-named their plateful of sausage, bacon, egg, potato scone, tomato, mushrooms and beans - The Gerard Butler Big Scottish Breakfast.

The breakfast’s new name is in Butler’s honour, as he is this week filming his latest movie, Keepers less than a mile away at The Cloch Lighthouse.

The Scots-born actor is playing a lighthouse keeper in the movie based on the mystery of how three lighthouse keepers on The Flannan Isles, off the west coast of Lewis, disappeared without trace in December 1900.

The Cloch Lighthouse, on the coast road between Gourock and Inverkip is being used for interior scenes in the film, which also stars Peter Mullan and Connor Swindells.

Film company trucks are being parked up in the yard of Cardwell Garden Centre while filming goes on.

The centre’s retail general manager, Paul Carmichael said: “It’s not often we get a Hollywood star filming a movie just along the road from us and since Gerard is well-known for being born in Scotland, we thought we’d name our Scottish breakfast in his honour.

“I understand the filming is being done through the night and we’re extending an invitation to Gerard and everyone else involved in the film to come along after filming finishes.

“And even if our customers don’t bump into a real-life movie star, they can still enjoy a big breakfast at only £6.50 named after one!”
