FINALISTS FOR SCOTTISH CURRY AWARDS ANNOUNCED

The finalists for the 14th Official Scottish Curry Awards 2022 are now live following the huge success and growth of the campaign over last decade.
The Scottish Curry Awards exist to recognise and celebrate the devotion, service and tasty food provided by the best establishments in the industry, who work their hardest to perfect every meal. The black-tie awards ceremony will take place on 13th June at Marriott Glasgow Hotel.
A spokesperson for the Scottish Curry Awards 2022 said: “We can’t wait to host the 14th Scottish Curry Awards following the massive success of last year’s events. Scotland’s general food industry is one of the most exciting and transformative in the UK, with curry continuing to play a key role in its evolution and innovation.
Having seen some of the finalists, we’re more excited than ever to deliver these awards and want to wish them all the best of luck.”
Oceanic Consulting are hosting the event with their 14 years experience hosting award ceremonies in major English, Scottish and Irish cities. Campaigns include the Asian Business Awards, Asian Food Awards, British Muslim Awards and Britain’s Asian Wedding Awards.
