Ms Coke said when the Trinidad-born singer had arrived, she had been looking at him and thinking “I’ve seen his face before”.<\/p>\n
The singer said he would tell her who he was after having his specially requested meal of spicy fish, rice, callaloo and curried goat.<\/p>\n
Ms Coke said her staff, daughter and grandchildren had all been able to have a private audience with Ocean as the restaurant was not busy.<\/p>\n
“We were happy for that,” she said. “It always seems to happen if anyone famous has come in, they always choose a time when it’s quiet.”<\/p>\n
Ocean is not the only famous face to have visited Mama Flo’s, which opened at its current address in Buxton Road in 2013.<\/p>\n
Over the years, the takeaway has been visited by Manchester City player Kyle Walker, actor Will Mellor, former politican Edwina Currie and Stone Roses singer Ian Brown.<\/p>\n
Ms Coke said she had served “loads and loads” of celebrity customers in the restaurant, which she described as her “little gem”.<\/p>\n
