A show on curry is set to begin in London’s Riverbank Park Plaza Hotel on October 14 to celebrate Britain as the paradise for global curry lovers.
The UK-based Curry Life Magazine is organising the show, World Curry Expo, where curry and everything related to curry will be on display to attract visitors, curry lovers and restaurateurs.
Suppliers, importers and wholesalers of different cooking items, kitchen equipment and drinks will participate in the show.
“London is home to the biggest multi-cultural communities in Europe, if not the world,” said Syed Belal Ahmed, editor of Curry Life Magazine.
The Greater London has more curry restaurants than in Dhaka and Delhi combined, Ahmed said.
“The UK is the global hub for curry — whether Bengali, Indian or Chinese — and this is why we are proud to organise the World Curry Expo here in London.”
The visitors to the expo will not only get to learn more about curry cuisine but will also find exclusive deals on offer from suppliers to the British curry industry that has an annual turnover of £4.2 billion, he said.
The magazine has been successfully organising food festival, exhibitions, competitions and award ceremonies in numerous countries, including the UK, Spain, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Slovenia, US, Middle East, Malaysia, India and Bangladesh.
The companies and suppliers participating at the show will be hoping to develop a linkage to the UK’s vibrant and growing curry restaurants market, he said.
The expo will end with an exclusive gala dinner and awards ceremony for curry chefs and industry professionals, who have shown outstanding performance and achievement in culinary excellence.
