Ms Khan said: “All our chefs are from South Asia, they’re from Bangladesh, from India, and that’s where we get all the authentic cooking from. That’s what customers come to us for, for that authentic taste.

“Right now there are not enough chefs in the area to cater for that, so we need to hire from abroad.

“If these changes come in, it will have a massive impact on a business like mine, a small business that relies on getting the skilled labour from abroad.

“The industry right now is struggling with rising food costs, energy costs, all these costs are increasing, so it is a really difficult time for us already, and this is going to make it worse.”
