A MAN who started his own restaurant after being inspired originally by his two grandmothers’ cooking has won the West Somerset Free Press Business Person Awards 2016.

Steven Hadley, 24, started his bistro restaurant Chambers, in The Avenue in Minehead, just over a year ago.

It all took off and had so much local support that people voted for him as winner of the awards, and he recently received his winner’s trophy, engraved and made by Francis James Jewellers.

“The award is not just for myself - all the team put in the effort and worked really hard to get it,” said Steven.

“I felt over the moon, it shows people appreciate we are trying and doing well.”
