I was incredibly pleased to hear that our own Beddington Kebab has made it into the finals of the national British Kebab Awards!
Beddington Kebab now find themselves competing with nine other Kebab shops to claim the Best London Takeaway mantel. What's more, it's great that they'll have this opportunity to show what makes them such a local gem on the national stage.
The British Kebab Awards are an amazing opportunity to support, draw attention to, and celebrate our amazing kebab restaurants. As the Member of Parliament for Carshalton and Wallington, I’m incredibly lucky to have many fantastic ones locally. In fact, a number have made it to the finals in previous years!
Whatever the mood, weather, time of day, our kebab restaurants provide something for everyone - and what’s more, they bring flare, life and people to our high streets. This is especially important at the moment, where many high streets face various pressures.
That’s why events like the British Kebab Awards on a national level, and those more locally like the Best Local Takeaway round in my own Local Business Awards are so important in championing this important and much-respected mainstay of our communities.
The competition might be tough, but I'm sending all my best to our own Beddington Kebab!
