Local Torbay restaurateur Rehan

Uddin “stole the show” whilst collect-

ing his winner’s award at the Meridian

Grand London for Channel S TV’s

(SKY 814) ‘Catering Circle Restaurant

Talent Show Awards’.

Social media has lit up with posts con-

gratulating the Bombay Express owner

on his success, as well as his inspira-

tional speech highlighting the lack of

recognition & celebration for women in

the industry.

As the first Indian restaurant to host

events celebrating International Wom-

en’s Day & address the gender pay

gap, Rehan addressed the absence of

women winners at the awards, & the

necessity for equality.

Rehan thanked his Bombay Express

customers, team, & the Asian

Restaurant Owners Network (ARON) –

expressing gratitude for their continu-

ous support & valuable involvement

while he pushes to “change the game”.

Also highlighting the rise in vegans &

important awareness days, the entre-

preneur challenged the industry to

step up & address these often-

overlooked communities.

T O R Q U A Y R E S T A U R A N T B O M B A Y

EXPRESS IS SUPPORTING MENTAL

HEALTH AWARENESS

This year the topic is stress & how to

look after your mental health; encour-

aging the public to make time to talk

with friends, family or colleagues.

Bombay Express restaurant on Bel-

grave Road is collecting donations for

the Mental Health Foundation, as well

as holding events for the campaigns

‘Curry & Chaat’ & ‘Tea & Talk’ -

providing a safe space to open up &

#BreakTheStigma.

The restaurant is also supporting the

Torbay Homeless Service - spending

time with the residents as well as

serving their popular set menu.

The centre is a 24hr supported hostel

service which offers help to single

homeless people & rough sleepers in

Torbay; assisting moves into more per-

manent accommodation, running activ-

ities to help develop life skills & self-

esteem, promoting healthy living &

creating opportunities for people to

talk about their challenges. The ser-

vice also runs rough sleeper outreach

& drop-in sessions at the hostel for

people living on the street.

Restaurant owner Rehan Uddin

praised the “incredible & inspiring”

team at the centre & was quick to vol-

unteer when Mental Health Practi-

tioner Emily Robertson sent out re-

quests to local businesses asking for

any donations they would be kind

enough to offer - “this is a such a

treat; we have all been really looking

forward to the event! It is incredibly

important for our residents to feel val-

ued within the community, so to share

this generosity & kindness is wonder-

ful”.

Mr Uddin, the founder of Asian Res-

taurant Owner’s Network (ARON) is

passionate about breaking stigmas

“we’d like to thank the residents &

staff for such a warm welcome &

encourage more local businesses to

provide positive opportunities & expe-

riences for this grateful community.

This is the first time a British-Indian

restaurant has publicly raised

awareness about mental health - in

the Asian community nobody really

talks about it; today also highlights a

positive move in Asian culture to open-

up, share & support each other”.

Anyone can join in with these cam-

paigns! For more information, visit

www.mentalhealth.org.uk or contact

@BombayExpressTorquay

Any support (from individuals or busi-

nesses) for Torbay’s homeless would be

gratefully received - to discuss, please

contact [email protected]

If you or someone you know needs to

talk about mental health or any issues

of concern, the Samaritans offer emo-

tional support in full confidence, 24

hours a day - call free on 116123 or

email [email protected]
