Bob recently nominated local restaurant, Tamasha, to take part in the prestigious Tiffin Cup competition to find the best South Asian restaurant in the country.
Following the success of the Tiffin Cup 2013, MPs have for the ninth year running been asked to nominate a restaurant in their constituency as the best South Asian restaurant in the UK. Last year, 83 restaurants were nominated from around the country.
The Tiffin Cup is awarded every year by the Tiffin Club of MPs, formed in 2006 by former MP John Barrett, Michael Fabricant MP and Keith Vaz MP. The aim is not only to applaud the quality of South Asian food in Britain but also to raise much needed money for charity. This year the competition is in aid of the charity ‘World Vision’, an international aid and children’s charity.
A mystery diner will now eat at Tamasha at some point over the next couple of months, and will be asked to judge them on the following categories: food, ambience, location, service and décor.
The Grand Final is to be held in the House of Commons on Tuesday 8th July 2014.
Commenting on the nomination, Bob said:
‘I am delighted that my nomination for Tamasha has been accepted and that the restaurant will be taking part in this year’s Tiffin Cup. This is a very prestigious competition and I look forward to welcoming Tamasha to the House of Commons should they win their regional heat’.
Chair of the Tiffin Club, Keith Vaz MP said:
‘After the overwhelming success of last year’s competition we are looking forward to another chance to sample some of the best offerings of Indian food in Britain. I wish Tamasha the best of luck in the competition!’
