Press Release: Feryal Clark MP congratulates local British Kebab Awards semi-finalists
Feryal Clark MP has congratulated Ada Restaurant, Eda Quality Foods Ltd, JJ Foodservice Limited, Prime Quality Foods Ltd and Vlamis on being long-listed for a prestigious British Kebab Award.
Ada Restaurant, Eda Quality Foods Ltd, JJ Foodservice Limited, Prime Quality Foods Ltd and Vlamis have been long-listed for British Kebab Awards for categories varying from Best Kebab Restaurant in North and West London, Best Greek Restaurant and Supplier of the year. The restaurants and suppliers were announced as the semi-finalists and the winners will be announced at a ceremony in London.
And Feryal Clark MP has welcomed the news as showcasing local success in the kebab industry.
Gongs will be presented for a total of 17 categories at the ninth annual British Kebab Awards, following a competitive nomination process.
A panel of judges including MPs Nadhim Zahawi, Carolyn Harris, David Warburton, Angus Mcneil as well as James O’Brien of LBC will help to decide the winners of each category – although anyone could vote for their favourite kebab outlet from a shortlist for each category.
The Awards have become a fixture in the annual food awards calendar, and celebrate the growing contribution of the kebab industry to the UK.
The British kebab industry contributes over £2.8 billion annually to the British economy, supporting around 200,000 jobs across takeaways, restaurants, suppliers and the food industry in the UK. There are also around 200 doner kebab manufacturers in the UK, with a turnover in excess of £750m.
The first kebab shop opened in North London in 1966 and there are now over 20,000 kebab outlets in the UK selling an estimated 1.5m kebabs every day.
The awards are sponsored by the UK’s largest takeaway website JUST EAT Takeaway, as well as Ben and Jerry’s, Big K, Cobra Beer and Coca Cola, with the aim of showcasing the wide range of restaurants serving kebab styled food.
Feryal Clark MP said:
“I am delighted that five Enfield North businesses have been long-listed for the prestigious British Kebab Awards, which highlights their contribution to the kebab industry in the UK. I wish them all many congratulations for their success and wish them good luck in the semi-finals and look forward to visiting them in the near future.”
