The pair were later joined by Bafta-winner Bradley Cooper at the venue, on the 60th floor of a property in Bishopsgate, London.
One punter told me: 'We were having a late lunch at Lucky Cat and Tom walked in with his dog.
'He was greeted by Gordon's staff and was joking about playing Spider-Man and learning to cook at the top of the tallest skyscraper in the City of London. Tom was taken down to Gordon's private kitchen for a one-on-one lesson. About two hours after he'd arrived, Bradley arrived and was led down to see Tom.
'It was amazing to see so many celebs in one afternoon. And to see Daphne, Tom's Doberman puppy, joining him was very funny.
'And she would have eaten very well at Lucky Cat with Gordon cooking.'
Bradley and Tom are old pals after meeting during their time working on the Avengers film franchise.
Tom is preparing to start filming the next instalment of Spider-Man, with the new film, Brand New Day, slated for release on July 31 next year.
Anya Taylor-Joy has also joined the cast as Black Cat and will begin work on the movie in the coming weeks.
Sadie Sink, Liza Colon-Zayas and Jacob Batalon are also in the line-up, along with Tom's fiancée Zendaya, who is reprising her role as Spider-Man's love interest MJ.
The pair got engaged over Christmas, with Zendaya showing off the massive diamond ring Tom bought for her on the Golden Globes red carpet earlier this year.

Rita was later seen stretching through the city in a bejewelled oversized suit jacket dress, before going through more edgy black bra and combat trousers combo.
For her fourth outfit, she slipped into a pair of jeans and a quirky grey top, which featured a long train off her back.
Early this week Rita debuted her new track of All Natural, during an intimate gig.
Introducing the song, Rita said: 'It's about saying, I love you myself, that's what it's all about. No matter how you dress. No matter how you look. It is you.'

Tireless Camila is just the tick it
WITHIN the first salvo of songs, Camila had chucked everything at the show. And then some.
Pyrotechnics, tick. Dry-ice cannons, tick. A backwards swan dive into the arms of her dancers, tick.

Camila gave it her all, from the moment she emerged on top of a giant padded box in the centre of the stage belting out 2019 track Shameless.
Rather than being gimmicky, her show felt arena-ready. The impressive choreography made me tired just looking at her.
But the former Fifth Harmony star looked like she could keep going for hours, never missing a note.
Officially, the Yours, C tour is in support of her fourth album, C,XOXO, but the 23-song setlist had hits from her first three.
A beaming Camila told fans: 'I feel so overwhelmed with your love right now. It's been a long time coming. It's been a long time since I last toured but this tour has honestly been so healing for me.'
Beyond the hits such as 2017's Havana, her 2022 Ed Sheeran collab Bam Bam and 2019 track My Oh My, I can't say I've had Camila's albums on repeat. But after this, I have been streaming some of the lesser known tracks.
Judging by this tour, the next time she's in the UK it will be for arenas.

Take That act back lost track
A TAKE THAT tribute act are backing calls to release the real band's lost single Falling For You Girl.
I told in May how the song, originally recorded in 1992, had been unearthed and a petition started to get it out.

Now tribute act Take That Experience have thrown their support behind it, and want the chance to perform it themselves, if it is stopped from release.
Marc Dillon, who performs as Robbie Williams said: 'We read about Falling For You Girl In The Sun's exclusive and couldn't believe it – a genuine lost hit.
'Everyone in the band has signed the petition and we're asking all Take That fans to.
'Falling For You Girl has got to see the light of day, especially as it was the first time Robbie featured on lead vocals alongside Gary.'
Search change.org Take That to see the petition.
FENDER REPLACED
SAM FENDER has been replaced by The Wombats on the Sunday line-up for this weekend's NOS Alive festival in Lisbon.
The Geordie singer was forced to cancel a series of gigs after haemorrhaging his vocal cords during the opening concert at the British Grand Prix last week.
We wish him a speedy recovery.
Yungblud stadium dream
HE has just scored his third consecutive No1 album with Idols – so I can't blame Yunblud for aiming high with his gigs.
The Northern rocker said: 'I would love to one day perform at a stadium.
'I lost my grandad two years ago and he'd take me to the stadium in Doncaster as a kid to watch the football.
'My biggest dream is to perform at the stadium in Donny. Invite Jeremy Clarkson and Louis Tomlinson. Get three Donny lads together and light up the stadium.'
This month Yungblud will be in the audience when Oasis play the first of their Live '25 shows at Wembley Stadium.
No doubt he will be taking notes for his own show.

Games Inbox: What's the best superhero game?
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 – the ultimate superhero game? (Sony Interactive Entertainment) The Thursday letters page hopes Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet has a sense of humour, as another reader calls for Star Wars: Battlefront 3. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@ Binary choice An interesting article about Superman in video games, but I have a hard time imagining that anyone will bother trying to crack the concept when there are easier heroes to put into games. It is still amazing though, how there still aren't that many superhero games in general, even though the peak of the MCU has been and gone. So the question I'm going to ask, of which is the best superhero game, has far fewer options than there really should be. Personally, I think it's probably Midnight Suns, but if we limit ourselves to action games it's really only down to Batman vs. Spider-Man. I would say that Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City are much better games than any of Insomniac's Spider-Man games, even though Insomniac rip-off so much from the Batman titles. However, I'd also say that Spider-Man 2 is a better superhero game, in that it gets the character exactly right in terms of character and what he does. The problem with the Batman games is that they're all set in enclosed spaces and even by the time you get to Arkham Knight, everyone's been evacuated from Gotham, so there's no civilians and you don't get to prevent any random crimes, which you absolutely should be doing in a Batman game. I always figured that was a technical limitation but since we've never had a proper sequel the problem has never been solved. Archie Expert, exclusive gaming analysis Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. Unknown success Interesting article about game sales and how it's difficult to tell whether a game is a hit nowadays, or at least not until many months since it was out. I say this because I'm curious right now as to how Death Stranding 2 is doing. I loved it but it is clearly not a cheap game to make, and I don't know anyone else that's played it and I don't remember anyone writing into the Inbox about it. I see some talk of 1.4 million sales in June, but that doesn't seem very much. Not for a game like that. I know that GC said 1 million is considered the bear minimum for a hit but it's dependent on budget. So what does Death Stranding 2 have to do to break even? We usually know that for a movie but never for a game. It's frustrating. I hope the game has done well enough that Kojima won't be impacted but we probably won't know unless something really bad happens. Damdon Quick turnaround A surprisingly interesting set of results for US game sales in May. I certainly didn't get the impression Elden Ring Nightreign did all that well and it's almost funny how Switch 1 sold 44% less than last year and it still outsold the Xbox Series X/S. How they think they're going to come back from that sort of performance in the next generation I don't know. But I do know telling us that the killer app is AI isn't going to work. Love to see the revival of Star Wars Battlefront 2 too. I'm not sure if it's quite extreme enough for EA to make a sequel though. Even if they started right now it'd take them something like five years to make a new one and whole knows what stay the games industry or Star Wars will be in by that point. Mind you, it was only two years between Battlefront 1 and 2, which is very short nowadays, so maybe they can make it quicker if they use the same tech. Maister Email your comments to: gamecentral@ Remaster masters I try to support games and studios I really appreciate with day one buys and think I'll be doing that with Nightdive Studios' System Shock 2 25th Anniversary Remaster, with its slightly delayed release on console on the 10th of this month. I'm on board with and think they do an excellent and thoughtful job of their manifesto of 'bringing lost and forgotten gaming treasures back from the depths.' I have played System Shock 2 before but will relish a fresh playthrough but have really enjoyed for the first time Powerslave Exhumed and Killing Time: Resurrected from Nightdive Studios. There's so many games I'd love them to take on, like Deus Ex, that maybe might happen if this release does well. Simundo GC: They're definitely the gold standard when it comes to 90s era Western games. Lite preference Spoken to a couple of gamers in real life and one doesn't think there will be Nintendo Switch 2 Lite. I am banking on it. No way am I fetching this version of Nintendo Switch 2. Battery issues, weight, and a myriad of little things not quite right… see YouTube. Games full price around £70 for download keys, maybe if physical. I only want one game, Fast Fusion? I missed out on Fast RMX – a super rare game for Switch 1. I hope Nintendo see the complaints and do what they did with original Switch and make a Switch 2 Lite version, please. Thank you Metro for airing, this so to speak. Simon GC: What battery and weight issues? And no game-key game is £70. Lighten up Won't playing The Last Of Us Part 2 in chronological order mean the flashback at the museum is the first scene? Isn't that going to be really weird? Not that I'm likely to play the new mode. I really liked both games at one point but they feel so overexposed nowadays that I'm just tired of hearing about it, to the point where I don't even know if I'll watch season three of the show. Season two changed a lot of stuff that didn't seem to make any sense, but its biggest problem is that it was so boring. I think it's going to be a mistake dragging the second game out for three seasons, even if it is a longer story overall. I really feel Naughty Dog needs to move on from The Last Of Us and just make something with a little optimism for once. Even the last Uncharted was kind of grimdark, with no supernatural stuff. They need to cheer up a bit, or more importantly try to cheer us up. I don't need to know that the world and everyone in it is awful, I need hope that maybe they're not. And no, the ending of Part 2 does not count towards that. I'm not sure what Intergalactic is about but I hope it's more about fighting robots with not-lightsabers than banging on about religion and faith. I'm not asking them to go back to Crash Bandicoot, but there has to be a middle ground between than and the ultra seriousness of The Last Of Us. Kubert Proper strange Every time it gets pointed out that Valve hasn't made a 'proper' game since Portal 2 it seems so weird to me. I remember 20 years ago when they were being described as the best game developer in the world and the 'Pixar of gaming.' Now I doubt anyone under 30 even realises they used to make games. What saddens me most is it shows Valve were just making games to pay the bills. If they were doing it for the love of the art, they would've carried on even after they made their billions with Steam. I guess sitting around counting your money is more fun? Rascar The lost generation I'm going to be honest here and say that I think the general dislike of the Wii is perfectly justified. I don't think anyone hates it but for me it was the least generation by far for Nintendo. If it wasn't for Super Mario Galaxy there'd barely be anything worthwhile on the whole console and ironically that one sold quite poorly compared to rubbish like New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I guess Mario Kart Wii was okay, since motion controls couldn't ruin that, but Zelda: Skyward Sword was awful and all the new Nintendo franchises were junk like Wii Sports. That game is definitely an important milestone for gaming but it's horribly shallow and barely even pretends to be anything other than a tech demo. I don't hate the Wii, but I do consider it a non-entity that I have no interest in. It was important in terms of getting Nintendo back on top of the game, and no longer bleeding money, but as a console with a lot of enjoyable games… I'd much rather have a N64 or GameCube (I would say or a Wii U but I'm not going to lose credibility by stretching my point too far). We can see today how little Nintendo has kept from that era. A few motion controls in the odd party game and gyro aim. That's it. PlayStation and Xbox don't even have that, so you can easily say that the Wii had no lasting impact on gaming, and it's hard to prove you wrong. Strange that it was the number one selling console of its generation and the Xbox 360, which was the most innovative, did the worst. You could maybe argue that Wii opened up the idea of making games for non-gamers but I'm not sure even that had any lasting impact, beyond mobile games – and they were more influenced by the DS. Tony T. Inbox also-rans Anyone upset about Codemasters not making rally games any more should take a look at this purposefully old school game. Looks great. Edrona I notice there's only a small number of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 review out so far and they all seem to be America. Did you not get sent a copy, GC?

Tom Holland and Bradley Cooper surprise fans at Gordon Ramsay's London restaurant as Spider-Man actor attends cooking lessons
and Bradley Cooper surprised fans dining at Gordon Ramsay 's Lucky Cat restaurant in Bishopsgate, London on Monday. Spiderman actor Tom, 29, headed to the chef's private kitchen for a one-on-one cooking lesson. As he wrapped up his class, Bradley later arrived to visit his friend, leaving diners even more shocked. One customer told The Sun: 'We were having a late lunch at Lucky Cat and Tom walked in with his dog. 'He was greeted by Gordon's staff and was joking about playing Spider-Man and learning to cook at the top of the tallest skyscraper in the City of London. 'Tom was taken down to Gordon's private kitchen for a one-on-one lesson. About two hours after he'd arrived, Bradley arrived and was led down to see Tom.' Gordon opened the 120-seat Lucky Cat on level 60 at 22 Bishopsgate which serves dishes like soft shell crab maki and uni toast back in February. Lucky Cat Bar on the same level has seating for 60 and offers the 'Lucky Negroni' and a martini menu with citrus, floral, and umami options. Also on floor 60 is 12-seat chef's table Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High, an extension of Chelsea flagship Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. Completing the collection just two levels down is The Gordon Ramsay Academy Powered By Hexclad with Bao buns and Beef Wellington. The height of the eateries means they all clinch the title of London's highest restaurant from Duck & Waffle on the 40th floor of the nearby Salesforce Tower, also on Bishopsgate. Lucky Cat also offers 360-degrees of London through Ramsay's full-height windows as diners are able to watch chefs at the open sushi bar or guest-facing kitchen. The celebrity chef said: 'I've been lucky enough to open restaurants all over the world, but there's something truly unique about London. 'It's where my journey began, and it's the city I'm proud to call home. Watching it evolve into a global culinary powerhouse has been remarkable.' Gordon added: 'Building this beautiful space has been an ambitious project, but that's exactly what makes Gordon Ramsay Restaurants so special - we never stop pushing boundaries. 'I couldn't be more excited to open three of our most iconic restaurants, all reimagined, taken to new heights, and built under one roof, it's a dream come true and a major milestone for our business.' The final stages of the project will include the opening of Lucky Cat Terrace and Bread Street Kitchen Bishopsgate later in 2025. Bishopsgate is notable for its skyscrapers and is also home to the main London offices of several major banks, including National Westminster Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

A meeting of misfits: Seascraper, by Benjamin Wood, reviewed
The sea, as you might expect, looms large in Benjamin Wood's finely tuned novella Seascraper. Thomas Flett – one of the most touching protagonists I've encountered in recent years – is barely out of his teens, but he's already battered by toil. His days are spent shanking – gathering shrimps on the beach – with only a horse and cart for company. The setting, gorgeously evoked, is Longferry, a grim coastal town in 1950s Britain. Tom himself appears as if he's been transplanted from the 19th century. The sea, though, brings change, when hidebound past comes crashing against thrusting future. Tom has a stifling oedipal relationship with his mother, who gave birth, aged 16, after an affair with her history teacher. He escapes drudgery by playing the guitar, though hides this from his mum. He is an innocent, yearning for something better, but not knowing how to reach it. Even the bankteller he fancies seems a distant dream. When an American film-maker, Edgar Acheson, offers him a job, it seems like a springboard out. Edgar is a misfit in the materialistic world of cinema, as he only wants to make arty films. In the blossoming friendship between the fast-talking Yank and the taciturn Brit you hope Tom won't get hurt. Relationships between parents and children and our psychological, artistic and intellectual inheritances are among Wood's themes. Tom is haunted by his dead father; Edgar's relationship with his own mother, a novelist whose book he wants to adapt (to win her love), is strained, and he hardly sees his daughter. Tom finds in Edgar the father figure he's always wanted – erudite, articulate and able to subsist on his own talents; and Edgar finds someone who can, perhaps, like him for what he is. There is much about art and its making as Tom struggles to write songs that aren't borrowed 'from a hundred other tunes', and as Edgar powers on with his monomaniacal drive to make a movie. Questions of deception and trickery also abound. Whether we can trust Edgar or not provides a forceful impetus to the plot. Seascraper shimmers, salt-flecked and rippling. It swells with tense, memorable moments, as when Edgar and Tom venture on to the shore at night and meet danger. The long beaches, full of hidden traps and shrouded by fog, are a metaphor for Tom's complex state of mind. In the end, his music guides him out of the mire. You can listen to one of Tom's songs on Wood's website. Look it up. Like this novella, it's poignant, authentic and hopeful.
