Indian restaurant Viceroy, on
Earle Street, Yeovil, has been listed in
the British Curry Awards for
the fifth time in a row.
INDIAN and Italian food available
in Yeovil is among the best
in the country, according to restaurant
judges.
Indian restaurant Viceroy, on
Earle Street, has been listed in
the British Curry Awards for
the fifth time in a row, while
Italian eatery Tamburino in
South Western Terrace has won
a platinum award from the
Pizza, Pasta and Italian Food
Association.
Both restaurants were in the
awards after being nominated
by customers. Inspectors then
made under-cover visits to test
the food and service. Tamburino
was awarded for being
among the best independent
pizza restaurants in Britain.
Restaurant owner Dominico
Taravella said: “We are really
proud of the fact that the restaurant
was at the awards. We
were up against some big city
restaurants, lots of them in London
and Glasgow. We have put
Yeovil on the map in a small
way.”
The award given to familyrun
Viceroy places it as one of
the top 10 best curry houses in
the South West and in the top
100 nationally. It has won an
award every year since the British
Curry Awards were founded
five years ago.
Staff from the restaurant
along with family and friends
attended the national awards
ceremony at Battersea Park
Evolution Centre, London, last
month. The event was hosted by
broadcaster Trevor McDonald
and attended by Tory leader
David Cameron, whose favourite
curry is chicken balti.
Viceroy opened in Yeovil in
1994 and now has six restaurants
with the latest recently
opened in Dunkeswell in Devon.
