National Eating Out/In Week Celebrates Diversity
National Eating Out/In Week 18th - 24th November 2012 is run to celebrate the fantastic diversity of cuisines available to diners in Britain and also to raise funds for the less fortunate in the world.
This fun event, which widens its focus this year to include dining in, has a more serious side in recognising the plight of the malnourished and disaster-effected people around the world with all proceeds of fund raising events going to The Curry Tree Charitable Fund.
It operates in tandem with National Curry Week, which focuses on the Asian sector and its role as one of Britain's favourite cuisines
Fans of dining out and in are invited to celebrate the variety of international cuisines available to us in Britain and each day of the week will focus on specific dishes that we have taken to our hearts and made "British".
