Preston’s Spice King is up for restaurant of the year at the 10th English Curry Awards

Spice King has been shortlisted for an award and staff are thrilled

Finalists have been revealed for the 10th English Curry Awards, and Preston’s very own ‘Spice King’ have been shortlisted for best restaurant.

The awards were established to celebrate Asian talent across the UK’s curry industry.

The awards will be a celebration of the top Asian curry professionals and businesses with the finalist shortlist being determined by public vote.

The renowned black-tie awards ceremony will take place on 18 October at Holiday Inn, Birmingham Airport.

The awards highlight the growth of the Asian curry sector and recognise the achievements of those who work their hardest to perfect every meal. Those rewarded, will include chefs, restaurants, managers, takeaways, teams and curry schools.

Spice King, in Ronaldsway, Ribbleton, have been nominated almost every year since they began trading in 2011, and won the award in 2012.

A spokesperson for the English Curry Awards 2021 said: “The curry campaign has been hugely successful across the UK with Scottish, English and London editions to the awards. The English Curry Awards were one of our first and remain one of our best awards. It’s always a brilliant night of fun, food and celebration.

“Despite the many challenges facing the curry industry, these awards prove year after year how much talent there is fuelling the industry, satisfying all of our curry cravings. We have an abundance of talent and fierce competition this year and we wish best of luck to all finalists.”
