Drinkers at the North London boozer soon recognised him and one said: “They looked very cosy, talking and laughing for more than three hours, and clearly enjoyed each other’s company.
“Patrick was all smiles and chatting with the bar staff, they seemed to be in high spirits and very in-sync.
“She looked very happy and relaxed.”
The pair shared a meal and wine before stepping out into the night.

A separate source added: “Patrick and Michelle met over the summer after being introduced by a friend.
“It’s still early days, but they get on really well. Michelle has been separated from her husband for four years and Patrick has been single since splitting with Cat. They were both single when they met.”
Michelle, 47, set up fashion merchandising company Rolling People, which represents brands including Veja and Bash with her ex-husband.
Northern Irish star Patrick, who also hosts The Late Late Show on RTÉ, has two young sons with Cat, 49.

The couple announced the end of their 13-year marriage in July 2025, saying: “We have taken the decision and are now separated.
“There is no other party involved. We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected.”
Last autumn Cat moved out of the London rental property she shared with Patrick.
He was believed to be staying at the separate £5million five-bed “forever home” the couple had been renovating.

In 2023 Patrick had admitted he did not feel like an equal in the marriage.
He said: “For a long time I genuinely thought I was in a 50/50 partnership.
“Then you realise you’re actually a junior shareholder in a 50/50 partnership.
“You go, ‘I thought we were 50/50? Why do you seem to have more shares?’ I think with big decisions you kind of have to float stuff and see how that’s going to go.”

This month Cat revealed she enlisted a nanny to help raise their boys, Milo, ten, and James, eight.
Sharing an insight into her new life as a single mother, Cat said she and Patrick co-parent the boys “50-50”.
She told The Sunday Times: “It’s about being as organised as you can possibly be. I have an amazing nanny, too.”
In July we reported how Cat was seen cosying up to Charlie Coleman at a BST Hyde Park concert in London.
