Broch restaurant in Tiffin Cup contention
A Fraserburgh restaurant is heading to Westminster once again after being nominated for a place in the Scottish final of the Tiffin Cup 2010.
Fraserburgh's B Raj Tandoori Restaurant has won a place in the Scottish final after being selected to represent Banff & Buchan by local MP Eilidh Whiteford in the prestigious Newby Teas Tiffin Cup 2010 competition.
The UK-wide competition is held each year to find the best South Asian restaurant and attracts stiff competition.
The B Raj is no stranger to success in the Tiffin Cup having emerged Best in Scotland and overall Third Best in the UK in the 2006/07 competition, which raises funds for the Roko Cancer Appeal, which also fights tuberculosis in the UK and India.
This year, 73 restaurants from across the UK are competing. The B Raj Tandoori, having won a place in the Scottish final will battle with other restaurants from Scotland to become one of the UK finalists in the Newby Teas Tiffin Cup 2010 Grand Final, to be held at the House of Commons.
Speaking in Fraserburgh during a visit to the B Raj Tandoori to congratulate owners Mr and Mrs Baldev Soni, Dr Eilidh Whiteford MP said: "I am delighted that my nomination for the B Raj Tandoori has won through. The restaurant will now be visited by a 'mystery diner' and I hope that it will be selected to represent Scotland in the Grand Final of such a prestigious award.
"I am sure that everyone in Banff & Buchan will be supporting the B Raj as it flies the flag for the North-east."
Mr Soni, owner of the BRaj, said he was 'delighted' at the nomination: "We are very delighted and grateful to Dr Whiteford for recommending the restaurant.
"Our reputation all depends on the people of Fraserburgh, who have helped us over the past 14 years.
"We were runners up four years ago and we are hoping to do better this time," he said.
