A CAERPHILLY kebab shop is the runner-up and has been highly recommended in the Best Kebab House in Wales category in the British Kebab awards.
Wales Kebab, Abertridwr, Caerphilly came second in the category, with Golden BBQ in Cardiff winning the award.
The kebab house in Abertridwr is well-known for it's vast varieties of different kebabs and the choice of all in an extra large size.
The winners were revealed after a final round of judging by the British Kebab Awards judges including former Tory chairwoman Baroness Warsi, children’s and families’ minister Nadhim Zahawi, shadow economic secretary Jonathan Reynolds, Amjad Bashir MEP and Heart Radio presenter Lucy Horobin, who co-hosted the event with Capital Radio newsreader Tim John.
More than 1,200 guests including more than 100 MPs and lords attended the British Kebab Awards ceremony in central London.
British Kebab Awards founder, Ibrahim Dogus, said: “The kebab is on the march to be Britain’s national dish and the excitement around this event grows every year.
“Some of the kebabs being produced in the top flight are incredible. This cuisine is coming of age in Britain with interesting twists and, at its heart, good ingredients cooked well.
“British foodies are showing their appreciation for this ancient style of cooking and competition is getting extremely hot. For two of the finalists to retain their titles two years in a row is no mean feat and I know their competitors will be even more determined to unseat them next year.”
