Derry kebab shop nominated for two prizes at British Kebab Awards

A Derry kebab house is in line for two top gongs at the British Kebab Awards. Britain’s prima doners have been revealed as chefs prepare to do battle to be crowned British Kebab Awards 2017 winners. Turkish Kebab and Grill in Strand Road has been shortlisted in the Best Kebab House in Northern Ireland category and the Best Newcomer Outside London category. This year’s shortlisted shish are competing for prizes in 15 categories from Best Kebab Van to Best Newcomer and Best Fine Dining ahead of the fifth annual awards ceremony on February 26. Members of the public were invited to nominate their favourite kebab shops. These have been whittled down to a shortlist based on the number of public votes received, hygiene scores with bonus points for nominations from MPs expected to attend by the dozen on the big night. The winners will be crowned in just under three weeks after a final round of judging by the British Kebab Awards judges including Shadow Economic Secretary Jonathan Reynolds and fellow MP Nadhim Zahawi. Over 1,200 guests including more than 300 MPs, Lords, Baronesses and Councillors, and 800 businesses and community representatives will attend this month’s VIP-studded ceremony in the ballroom of the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel.
