Dave Wilson's Moss Side upbringing cemented his love of Caribbean food. And it is a passion which he has turned into a business.
"I didn't have the best childhood, but cooking was the only thing I could do," he told Lancs Live.
A quarter of a century ago, Dave moved from his native Manchester to Blackburn. In 2013, he opened the Calypso Caribbean at The Wharf Inn in Blackburn.
