A TOP chef has been forced to close his award-winning Michelin restaurant - and he announces a "final goodbye" party after a "tough year". Bradley Monk has been the owner and head chef at One Fish Street in St. Ives, Cornwall for the last five years. But last week, the team took to Instagram to announced it was shutting its door for good on January 2.

Bosses at the family business are keen to go out with a bang, encouraging customers from the local area to join them for one last meal - or at the restaurant's one-night-only leaving party. Meanwhile, the spokesperson also hinted at a new culinary venture.

The message read: "We are sad to announce that we are closing. Our last service will be on the 2nd of January. "This has been a difficult decision, and we have had five wonderful years, but it's time to move on. "We have some plans for the future - which will be revealed in due course - but in the meantime we would just like to thank all our loyal guests for their support over the past five years!.
"We have availability over the next couple of weeks, although post Christmas is extremely limited. "It would be amazing to see as many of you as possible before we close. Thank you!". The caption, posted alongside the statement, added: "Unfortunately we have made the difficult decision to close.
"It’s been a tough year for our industry and, as such, it’s time to move on to something new.". Moving on to happier news, the poster added: "We will also be throwing a NYE/leaving party - more info to follow - and it would be great if you could join us for that also!".
