The Shiplu Tandoori in Bexhill has been nominated by Huw Merriman 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, MPs have for the 10th year running, been asked to nominate a restaurant in the UK in this mouth watering competition. Last year 94 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 Vision2.
The Grand final of the Tiffin Cup 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 tof the best offering of Indian food in Britain. I wish the Shiplu Tandoori the best of luck in the competition!”
Huw Merriman MP said “I am delighted that the nomination for the Shiplu Tandoori has been accepted for this year’s Tiffin Cup. Having been recently elected as an MP, I was keen to highlight the quality of the Shiplu’s cuisine as well as the welcome and encouragement which the team have given me in my short time in office. This is such a prestigious competition and I look forward to welcoming the Shiplu Tandoori to the House of Commons should they win their regional heat.
I am sure that their many customers will be rooting for the Shiplu Tandoori to become Tiffin Cup champions.”
