It's National Kebab Day today, so the Recorder is celebrating those Newham eateries offering a tasty doner.

The day (July 8) has been organised by Halal food news site Feed the Lion with the aim of helping to promote businesses.

While Brits eat some 1.3million kebabs each day, the kebab industry itself contributes £2.8billion to the economy, according to the organisers.

Hamza A Bajwa, Feed the Lion’s chief editor, said: "National Kebab Day is as much a celebration of the mighty kebab as it is a celebration of the enduring spirit of restaurants and takeaways during the most difficult period for hospitality in living memory.

"The UK’s diverse multi-ethnic community means that our country boasts some of the tastiest and most varied kebabs anywhere in the world."
