BOURTON Kebab Van is celebrating after making it to the British Kebab Awards semi-finals. The awards, run with Just Eat and supported by the Kebab Alliance – the sector’s trade body – aim to recognise and champion kebab takeaways and restaurants across the country. Now in their ninth year, the 2021 applications have attracted a record number of entries. Longlisted businesses will compete against each other and a shortlist of 10 businesses for each category will be announced by the beginning of July. The semi-finalists all have a chance to secure one of 18 awards at a ceremony at the Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge Hotel, on October 26.
