BRADFORD has been crowned the Curry Capital of Britain for a record-breaking fourth year in a row.
After six months of voting and investigation, 13 judges awarded the city the title ahead of runners-up Brighton and third-placed Birmingham.
Organiser and founder of the awards Peter Grove said Bradford had improved last year's winning score by nine per cent.
He added: "It is as if they have found the magic formula. Of all the competing cities, they have understood the underlying message of the event to promote cohesion where there was division, and have used curry as a bonding agent to bring different aspects of Bradford society together.
"As well as curry lovers and restaurateurs, they managed to bring together local businesses such as Lishman's of Ilkley and their balti pies and Keelham's Farm Shop with their tasty Tipsy Pig Ale, hotels, and even the air cadets.
"They managed to portray the local pride they have in all things Bradford so much so that we will be using their approach as a blueprint for next year."
