Mr Rahman said “It’s been a moral boost for all of us in these difficult times; it makes it worth doing what we do and we love seeing a smile on people’s faces.

“To win is phenomenal - it’s such an honour, especially as we were up against some really great competition. I'm over the moon.

“Thank you to our great team and to all of our customers in Caerleon, Newport, and the surrounding areas.

“We pride ourselves on ensuring every guest has the best possible experience, including food, atmosphere and service. I’m looking forward to starting the new year on a high.”
