A restaurant where Benedict Cumberbatch enjoyed an ice cream described the Sherlock and Marvel star as a "wonderful chap".

The Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Strange actor was snapped tucking into an ice cream at The Galley, Woodbridge in Suffolk on Sunday.

The restaurant's owner said he was a "wonderful chap" and that his favourite flavour was mint chocolate.

In a post on Instagram, the Galley's Creamery and Deli said: "Benedict Cumberbatch loved black garlic & charcoal, Liquorice & Lavender, Peach & Jalapeños, fresh strawberry-cucumber-mint sorbet, but Mint & Chocolate ice cream was the winner!"
