It told the Courier: "We are thrilled to have had the legendary Samuel L Jackson dining with us this weekend.

"It’s fantastic that more landmarks on our doorstep are being used for filming locations.

"We hope Mr Jackson enjoyed his visit to Huddersfield and Da Sandro’s. We would be happy to welcome him back any time."

The actor, who has appeared in dozens of movies, is the star of Marvel' s upcoming six-part series Secret Invasion, which is understood to have been filming in Halifax since the beginning of this week.

Crews have been spotted on the outskirts of Halifax town centre and Dean Clough.

The Piece Hall is to shut from Monday until February 1 for more filming for the series.
