The Akash gives away 100 free bottles of Kingfisher beer to celebrate National Curry Week
Get your hands on a free beer
To celebrate National Curry week, 100 free bottles of beer are being dished out at a popular Indian restaurant.
The Akash, in Albert Road, is hoping to put curry houses in the spotlight this week by giving out free bottles of Kingfisher beer to customers dining in this Sunday (October 11).
The restaurant, which will open at 4.30pm, will be running the giveaway running throughout the evening, with customers simply needing to tell the team, “We’re here to celebrate National Curry Week”, to claim their complimentary beverage.
Owner of The Akash, Faz Ahmed, said: “Curry is now part of British culture, but we shouldn’t take our curry houses for granted. National Curry Week is a chance to celebrate everything that’s brilliant about curry while remembering the independent restaurants that helped make it such an important part of life in Britain.
“If everybody went out and supported their local curry house, even just once, it would make a real difference.”
This year marks the 28th National Curry Week, which was established in 1998 to celebrate the Indian restaurant industry and support local venues across the country.
Faz continued: “We wanted to finish National Curry Week with something people could actually come in and enjoy with us.
“Hopefully it gets a few more people through our doors, but more importantly we’d love to see people doing the same thing across the country – go and support your local curry house.”
