MP nominates local Indian restaurant for award

Local Indian restaurant, Lateef, in Sittingbourne has been nominated by Gordon Henderson MP, 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 2014, MP’s have, for the tenth year running, been asked to nominate a restaurant in their constituency as the best South Asian restaurant in the UK in this mouth-watering competition. Last year 94 restaurants were nominated around the country.

The Tiffin Cup is awarded every year by the Tiffin Club of MP’s, 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’.

The grand final of the Tiffin Cup 2015 is to be held in the House of Commons on Tuesday 27th October 2015.

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 Lateef the best of luck in the competition!”

Gordon Henderson MP said:

“I am delighted that my nomination for Lateef has been accepted and will take part in this year’s Tiffin Cup. This is such a prestigious competition and I look forward to welcoming Lateef to the House of Commons, should they win their regional heat.

I am sure everyone in Sittingbourne will be rooting for Lateef to become Tiffin Cup 2015 champions!”
