Rice wore a dark-green cap and light-green hoodie as he held Jude and looked around outside the venue, where you can buy a two-course lunch for £26.

But he grinned widely as he put his arms around two fans for a pic taken by one of their friends.

The £115million Arsenal stars is one of England's main hopes at the Euros in Germany - mainly thanks to his midfield partnership with Jude Bellingham.

The duo are young enough and good enough to be paired together as long as rice has been with Lauren - more than eight years.

Rice and Lauren prefer to keep their relationship out of the public eye.

But there was an unfortunate glimpse into their private life two months ago.

That was when Lauren deleted all her Instagram pictures after bullying from online trolls.
