"I'm absolutely thrilled and honoured to have won the pub restaurant chef award", said Mr Wall.
"In all honesty I didn't think I had a chance up against the brilliant competition in Rob Taylor from the Compasses Inn and Leigh Evans from the Methuen Arms, so I am blown away to have joined a very esteemed list of winners for the award."
Former winners of the award include celebrity chef Tom Kerridge and other Michelin starred chefs.
Brendan Padfield, owner of The Unruly Pig, added: "Dave's an absolute star, he is an outstanding chef and we are all very proud.
