Isn’t He Lovely: Stevie Wonder shocks Stalybridge cafe staff after popping in for seafood meal after gig – and leaving £1,000 tip!

Stevie Wonder visited Cafe Continental in Stalybridge with his family, band and entourage after performing at Manchester’s Co-op Live arena. The singer stayed for a late-night seafood meal and left a £1,000 tip, which the restaurant’s owner said was shared among staff.

The group arrived after 11pm on Sunday, with Wonder joining them around 12.30am. Staff prepared a special menu featuring grilled sea bream, bouillabaisse and octopus. The restaurant had built an 18-month connection with Wonder’s touring musicians, who had become regular customers.
