Gordon Ramsay show restaurant hosts Armed Forces dinner
A Nottingham restaurant which appeared on Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares television show has hosted an event for British servicemen and women. Owner Arfan Razak opened up The Curry Lounge to honour hundreds of Royal Marines who have returned from active service in Afghanistan.
The event, organised by The British Forces Foundation, was held in honour of the servicemen and women of 40 Commando Royal Marines.
Razak said: “I’ve long admired the outstanding dedication of the Armed Forces and the great sacrifices they make. The fact is that these brave men and women put their lives on the line and I’m humbled by the way they downplay this and say that they’re just doing their job. So, I decided to show my appreciation by doing my job and cooking a meal worthy of these troops.
“We have done a lot for Help for Heroes and as a result of this I was invited by The British Forces Foundation to the 40 Commando Royal Marines evening. Some great celebrities have been involved in this project to help raise the morale of the troops, but there need to be more events like this. The true stars on the night were the troops and it was a privilege to cook for them.”
