MP launches annual search for best South Asian restaurant


4th April 2011

Mike Penning has launched his search for the Hemel Hempstead constituency nomination for the annual Tiffin Cup competition.

Local MP, Mike Penning MP has launched the local round of the Tiffin Cup competition to find the best South Asian Restaurant in the Hemel Hempstead Constituency.

The Tiffin Cup is an annual event organised by a cross-party group of Members of Parliament known as the Tiffin Club. Each MP is invited to nominate one South Asian restaurant from their constituency to go through to a regional final. Last year saw a record 70 restaurants nominated from central London to the Isle of Barra in the Western Isles.

The aim is to not only applaud the quality and diversity of South Asian food in Britain but also raise a significant amount of money for charity. This year the competition is in aid of ‘World Vision’.

Mike Penning said:
“This is a great way of promoting South Asian food in Dacorum. We've had a great response every year we've taken part and I look forward to the nominations for 2011.”

To nominate a restaurant, residents can either fill in the form attached or nominate online HERE.

Completed forms should be posted to:
Mike Penning MP, House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA

Closing Date: 27th April 2011

All South Asian restaurants in the Hemel Hempstead constituency are eligible (excluding last year’s nominee). The constituency includes Hemel Hempstead, Kings Langley and Markyate.

The Hemel Hempstead round winner in 2010 was the Sitar in Boxmoor which received a “Highly Commended” in the national round.
