From worldwide soccer star to owning an English pub in LA… David Beckham looks set to open a British-themed bar in California named The Queen Vic, after his Spice Girl wife Victoria. The 35-year-old will run the pub alongside fellow US-based Brit Gordon Ramsay (43). The pair have been talking about starting a business together for years, close sources say, and they reckon this bar would be a hit with fellow ex-pats, who long for English beers and pub food.
A pal says, “David wants pie and mash, fish and chips and even chicken in a basket on the menu, just like the meals he eats when he’s in the UK.” Victoria and Gordon’s wife Tana will also be involved in the venture. The two families spent last Christmas together and got along famously. The celebrity chef says, “We had a great time together, a lot of fun and a lot of laughs – just cooking and having fun. So maybe one day we will have a restaurant together! Who knows?” Becks has previously admitted, “I miss English pubs – having a good lager shandy and a Sunday lunch while watching the football.”
