Priscilla Presley stuns staff with visit to popular Glasgow restaurant

STAFF at a popular Glasgow restaurant were all stunned to see none other than Priscilla Presley stop by for dinner tonight.

The famous actress, businesswoman, and former wife of Elvis Presley is currently embarking on her first UK tour, An Evening with Priscilla Presley, with a show planned for the City Halls on Saturday.

The evening will consist of an intimate conversation with radio and TV presenter Edith Bowman and will see Priscilla share personal stories from her career, life and marriage including previously unseen footage of the couple.

Ahead of Saturday's event, Priscilla chose to dine at Murphy's Pakora Bar in Finnieston and took the time to smile for the camera alongside staff members who were clearly delighted to welcome showbiz royalty to Glasgow.

In one photo shared with the Glasgow Times, the star can even be seen signing a menu as a souvenir.

Tesh Majhu, the owner of Murphy's, told the Glasgow Times: "It was such an honour to have her in.

"She's a vegetarian and that's something we specialise in. We can't stress enough how great her and her team were, super polite and gracious.

"We just loved having them in."

A member of the team later took to social media to share a post that read: "What an honour hosting @priscillapresley and her team for dinner, one we certainly won’t forget.

"We would like to mention how lovely each and every one of you was. We hope you had a lovely evening.

"Thank you for choosing Murphy’s."

The National: Priscilla's tour comes after Baz Luhrmann's biopic of The King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis, starring Austin Butler, was released last year.
