Dan Norris, West of England Mayor

“From takeaways to fine dining, the kebab is one of Britain’s national dishes.

“The fierce competition between kebab houses that exists in the West of England is a great indicator of just how popular this firm favourite among residents has become.

“My region has a thriving hospitality trade, and these awards highlight the vital contributions of our Turkish, Kurdish and Kebab restaurants to our economy, and culture.

“I would like to send my best wishes to Ibrahim and the British Kebab Awards team, and say a big, big congratulations to all nominees, and wish everyone the very best of luck”.

Mayor Dan Norris,

Mayor of the West of England
