Forget heading to Bristol or Bath for your spice fix, as long-time favourite Cheltenham restaurant Spice Lodge has been awarded the prestigious title of Winner for the Best in South West in the 2011 British Curry Awards – following a glittering awards night held in London last week.

And to celebrate the occasion, the award-winning Indian and Thai eatery will be inviting customers to enjoy a complementary glass of champagne on arrival, a special menu and discount – available only on Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 December 2011.

Since its inception seven years ago Spice Lodge has been a finalist in the national competition – known as the Oscars of the curry industry – and following this year’s British Curry Award-win has been dubbed one of the ten best Indian restaurants in the UK.
