Peaky Blinders Star Stephen Graham Surprises Goole Restaurant Patrons
In an unexpected twist that thrilled both locals and fans of the iconic series "Peaky Blinders," actor Stephen Graham made a surprise appearance at Mr. NessuNo Ristorante & Pizzeria in Goole. Known for his compelling portrayal of Hayden Stagg in the popular show, Graham's visit on October 25th not only delighted restaurant staff but also sparked excitement throughout the small town. He stopped in for a meal before heading to the nearby docks to film scenes for the forthcoming feature film "Immortal Man," further igniting the buzz surrounding the production.
The moment Graham walked into the Italian eatery, it caught the attention of Jess Hasanaj, a staff member, who noticed a man resembling a bouncer taking a menu to what appeared to be a "blacked-out SUV." Upon realizing that a film crew was nearby, Jess was pleasantly surprised to meet Graham. "He was a really nice guy, really down to earth. You would have just thought he was a normal guy from Goole walking in," she recalled fondly.

When asked about the filming taking place, Graham couldn't share too many details but mentioned that he was not particularly looking forward to jumping into the chilly docks at 1:30 a.m. Nevertheless, his visit became a highlight for the staff at Mr. NessuNo, who expressed their pride in serving such a well-respected actor. "We’re a small restaurant in a small town, so we’re really honored," Jess remarked, encapsulating the sentiment of many locals.
The excitement surrounding Graham's appearance comes amid ongoing filming for the "Peaky Blinders" film project, which has been generating speculation for weeks. Residents received letters informing them of the potential for pyrotechnics and loud noises as filming unfolded on the docks. Oblik Productions, the company behind the film, has confirmed that it is a feature set to be released in 2025, although they have remained tight-lipped about further details.
On the evening of Graham's restaurant visit, crowds gathered along Bridge Street to witness the action unfolding at the docks. Distant sounds of special effects, including simulated gunfire, added to the atmosphere, with many locals eager to catch a glimpse of the production. Humberside Police issued a statement assuring the public not to be alarmed by the sights and sounds associated with the filming, emphasizing that both the police and fire services were well aware of the activities taking place.
