Katy Perry eats Yorkshire puddings on UK tour

Katy Perry has been eating Yorkshire puddings while visiting the UK with her world tour.

The singer is currently playing arenas across the country with her 'California Dreams' tour and decided to taste some Yorkshire favourites while playing Sheffield earlier this week.

Perry decided to stop by Silversmith's restaurant after proclaiming on Twitter that she was on the look out for "Yorkshire puddings & meat pies".

The restaurant's owner Justin Rowntree told the Yorkshire Post: "I got a call from the hotel where Katy and her people were staying to say she was on her way.

"We were absolutely packed with around 95 diners, but with a bit of juggling we managed to find her a table."

He continued: "Katy was very interested in how we got our name Silversmith's and was intrigued to hear about Sheffield's history of cutlery manufacturing.

"Then she tucked into a meal. We first introduced her to Yorkshire pudding. She thought it was funny that we ate pudding as starters but once she got her head round it Katy loved it."

Rowntree added: "Then she had a Whirlow Hall Farm meat pie and Henderson's Relish gravy which she devoured.

"Every plate on the table was completely empty when the party left and they were all very complimentary about what they had eaten."

The restaurateur concluded that the team at Silversmith's are now hoping Perry's friend Rihanna will stop by for food when she plays Sheffield later this month.

Perry will play the first of two London dates tonight (October 14) at the O2 Arena.
