Justin Bieber got turned away from Scottish fish and chip shop

Just like us mere mortals, celebrities like to eat out every now and again.

However, it's fair to assume they tend to go for glitzy, high-end restaurants where they can dine on their caviar and champagne in a discreet private booth.

Not Justin Bieber, who decided to hit up a local chippy while visiting Fife in Scotland with friends.

Their craving took them to Cromars Fish and Chips in St Andrews, which was bustling at the time as the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship was on.

With the takeaway heaving, Bieber almost went unnoticed, but it didn't take long for the penny to drop.

Owner Charles Mair told ITV: "When he came in, we didn't realise at first, but he started tapping the counter and singing out the menu.

"It was a bit of a shock for the staff. He was very nice and respectful."

And what exactly does a world-famous Canadian popstar have a hankering for while hanging out in bonnie Scotland?

"He ordered a lot of food, primarily our special - fish and chips with an Innis and Gunn beer," Mair said.

A solid order.

While Bieber was putting on a bit of a show for those behind the counter, he and his group asked if they could sit in the restaurant to eat.

Sadly for them, though, tables were fully booked, meaning they had to settle for a takeaway.

Mair explained: "It was surreal and for the staff it took a bit of time to sink in. Justin and his friends had to wait because we cook to order here.

"He gave us the thumbs up, no review but he had a munch of a few chips on the way out which was good."

Whilst Bieber might not have got round to putting his TripAdvisor review live, the restaurant boasts a respectable 3.8 stars on the review platform.

One person's review said: "Lovely food, lovely staff and great location.

"The fish and chips are next level and our whole experience couldn't be better. Thank you."

Another posted: "Cromars in St Andrews is the chip shop equivalent of a rock concert - loud, lively, and serving headliner acts straight from the fryer. The fish was so fresh it may have needed a lifeguard, and the battered sausage? More golden than a pharaoh’s tomb.

"But it’s the sauces that nearly started a new religion: that curry sauce could tempt even the most dedicated dieter into culinary sin, while the garlic mayo was so outrageously good I considered making it my emergency contact. And just when you think it couldn’t get better, even the dogs get their own sausage - mine left with a swagger. You may leave Cromars questioning your life choices—specifically, why you ever settled for less exciting condiments elsewhere."
