February 2011 - We are now negotiating with potential sponsors for 14th National Curry Week 9-15 October 2011.
Sponsorship packages are available on request by phone or email to groveint@aol.com and for the first time National Curry Week will focus on dining in as well as dining out.
Welcome to Our National Curry Week
National Curry Week was started in 1998 to promote the cuisine and to raise funds for charities concentrating on hunger, malnourishment and poverty. During the week, curry lovers can get out and visit their local curry houses, some of which will be staging special events and fun challenges. National Curry Week 2010 again invites curry restaurants, caterers, pubs, canteens etc, all over Britain to celebrate the cuisine and culture with special dinners, record-breaking attempts, raffles, auctions and more, all in aid of contributing to the alleviation of poverty and suffering in South Asia and worldwide (register free now).

All we ask restaurants to do is celebrate the week in which we acknowledge curry in Britain each year and, if possible, set aside a special evening where the proceeds go to The Curry Tree Charitable Fund which, this year, will focus on the Pakistan Flood Disaster Appeal.

Curry Capital of Britain
This event was last run in 2007 when it was won by Leicester. In conjunction with local media 5 restaurants were chosen to represent each city and then scored by judges to make up 50% of the marks. The balance of the marking depended on submissions from city councils and tourist offices to create a total. Previous winners are 2001 London West : 2002 Glasgow : 2003 Glasgow : 2004 Bradford : 2005 Birmingham : 2006 Glasgow. Plans are being made to run the event again. If you wish to nominate a town or city please email groveint@aol.com.
