Hollywood A-listers Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell and Simon Pegg were seen dining out in the quintessential British town of Bakewell as filming for the latest Mission Impossible film kicks off.
Tom Cruise, 61, was pictured with the chef and manager of Lovage Restaurant in Derbyshire as cast and crew members enjoyed a night out in the small town.
The eatery shared the picture on their Instagram page and British actor Simon Pegg, 54, who plays technician turned field agent Benji Dunn in the franchise, posted a selfie with cast and crew members - including Hayley Atwell - outside the venue.
The British-American Atwell, 41, who plays a thief named Grace, also took a trip to Bamford Edge to enjoy the incredible viewpoint on a day off during filming for Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part Two - the eighth move of the franchise.
And last week, Tom was pictured with his hair grown out while filming a car chase scene in Middleton Mine, which is also in Derbyshire.

Hayley wrote: 'Day off. Gorgeous up North!'
Last Tuesday, Tom was pictured with longer than normal hair as he filmed a car chase for the new movie at Middleton Mine last Tuesday.
Before that, he was last seen on February 7 at London's Air Ambulance Charity Ball where his hair appeared to be shorter and was more slicked back.

Shooting new scenes, Tom wore a black leather jacket as he took control in a battered up open truck.
Film crews had been prepping for the huge shoot in Derbyshire for around a week.
The scene at the disused mine involved a car chase and a crash.
He was seen driving at speed out of the mine and pulling a very long skid which brought a smile to his face.
The A-list actor later fist bumped some of the crew who had worked tirelessly since the early morning to ensure the scene was carried out safely.
