It comes just weeks after he stunned onlookers in a small pie and mash shop in Essex

Multi-millionaire David Beckham happily posed away for selfies after he was seen getting a bite to eat in a chippy in the North West town.

One local worker was able to snap a picture alongside the father-of-four as they waited for their food in the establishment.

A post shared on Facebook showed former England ace David beaming from ear-to-ear as he stood with the fan.

The picture was shared by a Cheshire-based building company who said: "When our plastering contractor, Coby, takes a break and casually bumps into David Beckham at the Alderley Edge chippy!"

David could be seen dressed casually as he donned a plain white T-shirt with a smart blue cardigan over the top.

He completed his look with a simple blue cap.

It seems that despite being worth a reported £350million, it seems that humble David is a fan of spending time supporting local businesses with his Cheshire chippy visit coming just weeks after posing with staff at an Essex pie and mash shop.

In September he was spotted in Tony's Pie and Mash in Waltham Abbey, Essex for a bite to eat with mother Sandra, 75, and his son Romeo, 22.

David shared a selection of snaps from their day out on Instagram.

The trio posed for a picture together while eating their delicious meals.

David, who dubbed the eatery "the best", captioned the post: "Lunch with mum," and a white love heart.

The football legend also smiled for a picture with the staff outside the restaurant.

What do David Beckham’s tattoos mean?

Hands

Starting with the hands, and David Beckham has the word "Love" inked across the top of his left hand, with a swallow on either side.

This is joined by the numbers 723, a combination of the shirts he famously wore for Manchester United and later Real Madrid.

On his little finger, he has the year he was married.

Becks also has a small female-stick figure designed by his daughter Harper.

The devoted husband has "Posh” tattooed on a finger as a nod to wife Victoria Beckham's Spice Girls nickname.

Arms

Becks has two sleeve tattoos on both his arms with the centrepieces paying tribute to his marriage to Victoria.

The most famous of his body art comes in the shape of her name along the inside of his forearm, which is inked in Sanskrit.

Both Posh and Becks have Hebrew tattoos, which they got to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary.

The matching tatts translate to, "I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine".

Meanwhile, Becks also has a separate rose inking on his left arm to mark the couple's tenth anniversary.

Neck

One of Beckham's most famous tattoos is on his neck, which is a gothic style cross and wings.

It is symbolic of to his religion and acts as a protective guardian of his son Romeo, whose name is tattooed just below the angel wings.

Beckham also has the name of his daughter, Harper, on the side of his neck.

This was later updated to include the words "Pretty Lady", to mark her fourth birthday.

Back

Beckham's back tattoos serve as tribute to his sons.

He has angel wings at the top as a sign of protection for them.

Becks has both his eldest on Brooklyn, and his youngest son Cruz's names inked across his back.

Body

Beckham has a large chest tattoo that is an image of himself as Jesus, with three cherubs representing his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz.

The footy ace also has a vertical tattoo down his left side in Chinese symbols - this translates as “Death and life have determined appointments".

Paying homage to his father, he has an inking of a ship at full mast - which is identical to the same one his dad has.
