A spokesperson from British Kebab Awards added: “As a nation we’re proud of our locals. 

“Our local kebab takeaways and restaurants are the beating hearts of our high streets and now, more than ever, kebabs are becoming part of our daily lives.

"From once being seen as a humble late-night snack after a night out in town, they are now enjoying a glow-up and revolution as part of a sit-down meal with family and friends, as a quick healthy lunch or delicious takeaway on the way home from work.” 

This year the Kebab Awards also raised money for the Donate a Doner Campaign, providing relief after the tragic earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.
