Watford MP Dean Russell presented an award at the Annual British Kebab Awards ceremony, which was hosted in Westminster.
The British Kebab Awards are held in association with JUST EAT and are an opportunity to recognise and champion the efforts of local kebab takeaways and restaurants across the nation.
Fans of their friendly neighbourhood kebab takeaways and restaurants can claim they truly do have Britain’s best kebab takeaway and restaurant by voting for them in the British Kebab Awards.
The British Kebab Awards draws key figures from all sections of the takeaway and restaurant sector. As a reflection of the kebab industry’s significant contribution to the UK economy and British culture in general, the awards welcome a host of celebrities, prominent politicians, journalists and most importantly the nation’s hard-working restaurant workers for an evening of celebration.
Speaking after the ceremony Dean said “Our local kebab takeaways and restaurants are at the hearts of most of our high streets. It is important to celebrate takeaway and restaurant owners across the country, recognising their contribution to the economy. The kebab industry is worth over £2.2 billion to the UK economy and has been an integral part of our culture for decades.”
Ibrahim Dogus, Founder of the British Kebab Awards noted that “The kebab industry has become a huge contributor to Britain's economic and cultural landscape, and the success of the British Kebab Awards shows just how important the kebab has become.”
