BTAs judge Ainsley Harriott said: “The standard of finalists this year was incredible – but only one could win. So we looked at what they’re doing differently and how they’re supporting the local community, providing great food and service at the same time. Lime Pickle ticks all the boxes; when you hear the stories about what they’re doing for their customers and the community, it captures everything that is phenomenal about the takeaway industry.”
Owner of Lime Pickle Jay Alom said: “We are absolutely blown away that Lime Pickle has won Best Takeaway in Britain. I would like to say a big thank you to the staff for their hard work day in, day out, ensuring our customers receive the best food and service possible. We couldn’t have got here without them or our loyal customers. We’re over the moon.”
Congratulations to all the winners.
