SIR – Can I appeal to your readers for help? We have had reports recently from various parts of the country that some curry restaurants are falsely claiming in their advertising or other promotional material to be winners of a British Curry Award.
The awards are the ‘Oscars’ of our industry and the ultimate accolade for those who win them. The awards dinner itself is the biggest event of the year in the hospitality industry calendar. So it’s unfair both on our genuine winners and restaurant customers throughout the UK if some seek to gain advantage by claiming to be something they are not.
A list of previous winners can be found at britishcurryawards.co.uk, and I would urge your readers to report to us any restaurant that is erroneously claiming past success so we can take action against them. They can e-mail us at info@britishcurryawards.co.uk.
On a more positive note, the nomination process for the 2012 British Curry Awards is now open. Nomination forms are available on our website and will be accepted up to September 24. The winners will be announced at the Battersea Evolution, London, on Monday, November 26.
Enam Ali MBE, British Curry Awards organiser
