The world watched the Oscars with bated breath on Sunday night, but another awards ceremony was also taking place with something of a more culinary focus.
Britain hosted its very own equivalent of the Oscars — the British Kebab Awards. Nice.
With 1.3 million kebabs sold every day across Britain, it’s safe to say the much-loved kebab is an institution in the UK.
Seventeen kebab shops from across the UK won awards in categories ranging from Best Kebab Van to Best Fine Dining Restaurant. The winner of the kebab van award went to Atalay Kebab Van in Thame, Oxfordshire, while Veyso’s in Hertford won the award for best Fine Dining Restaurant.

BBC Radio 1 DJs Chris Stark and Scott Mills hosted the event, which was attended by politicians including Andrew Percy MP, Barry Gardiner MP, and Simon Danczuk MP
