The Specials legend Lynval Golding celebrated scooping the prestigious Q Inspiration Award by tucking in to an all-you-can-eat buffet in Coventry.
The 58-year-old was presented with the gong by Back to Black singer Amy Winehouse at the star-studded Q awards ceremony in London last week.
But, rather than celebrate the achievement in a top restaurant in the capital, he chose to rush back to Coventry for an all-you-can-eat buffet.
The 2-Tone star tucked into a £7.99 meal at the Taybarns restaurant in Walsgrave, with his glistening trophy by his side.
He had shunned the after-show party on Monday to satisfy his hunger in his home city.
Lynval said: “As soon as Amy gave us the award I shot off. I didn’t hang around for the party.
“We were all starving and wanted to get back here for the buffet. We’re in here all the time – we live only round the corner.”
Mark McMenemy, Taybarns Coventry general manager, said: “We are delighted that such a musical legend chose to celebrate with us and it just goes to show that we really do offer something for everyone here at Taybarns.”
The Q Awards are the UK’s annual music awards, which have been held since 1990 and are run by the music magazine Q.
