East London News A Force for the community…
THE ARTA awards recognised excellence across the Asian food industry in the UK – across regions, expertise and type of cuisine. The scale of the awards meant that there was a long list of winners – especially in the regional sections.
Here is a comprehensive list of the winners, so that you can scrutinise it at your leisure – or come back to it if you find yourself outside your usual locality and in need of splendid sustenance.
If you feel hungry after looking through this list of practitioners of excellence, don’t forget that you can use ChefOnline to order some takeaway food or book a restaurant table – over their website or via their app. Here’s where to start:
