A Hollywood actor visited a popular pub on the front of a Northumberland harbour.

The Commissioner's Quay in Blyth was delighted to welcome Hollywood A-lister Charlie Hunnam, star of Netflix's Monster and FX drama series Sons of Anarchy.

Newcastle-born Charlie visited the pub on Thursday afternoon (February 5), in one of his latest ventures in the North East.

Charlie starred in Netflix's adaptation of the story of 1950s serial killer Ed Gein earlier this year, and the series has enjoyed critical acclaim, with the actor nominated for multiple awards.

The Commissioner's Quay, based on the harbour's edge in Blyth, shared on Facebook that the actor enjoyed pub grub for lunch.

The pub and B&B is highly rated on sites such as Tripadvisor, with reviews praising its welcoming staff and 'lovely food'.

"My friend and myself went for the winter deal which included dinner, bed and breakfast," one review said. "Everything was lovely, the staff - every one of them - were friendly, helpful and could not have been better.

"We have done this before and we will certainly be doing it again. Lovely food, spotless room, warm, cosy and an absolute delight."

Charlie also enjoyed meals at Chilli Padi in Newcastle and Jesmond restaurants Chakhdoom and Dabbawal last week, along with a trip to Woodhorn Museum in Ashington and Tynemouth Market.

His career began with a small part in BBC's Byker Grove, which also helped launch the careers of several other North East personalities, such as Dec Donnelly, Ant McPartlin and Jill Halfpenny.

After his first major role in Channel 4's Queer as Folk in 1999, Charlie took the lead role as Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy in 2008, which became FX's most successful show and a critical success.

He then starred in Pacific Rim in 2013, Crimson Peak in 2015, and The Lost City of Z in 2016.
