Basingstoke restaurant recognised for Outstanding Achievement – Customer Service of the Year at prestigious English Curry Awards 2026
Basingstoke, Hampshire — August 2026: Spices & Spirits, the contemporary Indian restaurant in Basingstoke, is celebrating a significant achievement after being recognised at the English Curry Awards 2026 for Outstanding Achievement – Customer Service of the Year.
The recognition was presented at the prestigious awards ceremony held at The Grand Station, Wolverhampton, on 10 August 2026, bringing together restaurants and hospitality businesses from across the country.
For Spices & Spirits, the recognition is particularly meaningful because it reflects something at the heart of the restaurant’s philosophy: creating an experience that goes beyond the food.
From the moment guests walk through the door to the service they receive throughout their visit, the team has worked consistently to create an environment where customers feel welcomed, valued and looked after.
The competition for recognition at this year’s English Curry Awards was exceptionally strong, making the achievement an important milestone for the Basingstoke restaurant.
“We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition for Customer Service of the Year,” said the team at Spices & Spirits. “For us, hospitality has always been about much more than serving great food. It is about people, experiences and making every guest feel genuinely welcome. To have that commitment recognised at the English Curry Awards is incredibly special.”
The award is also being seen as a celebration of the people of Basingstoke, whose support has helped the restaurant establish itself as one of the area’s recognised dining destinations.
The team believes that representing Basingstoke on a wider stage makes the achievement even more rewarding.
“We are proud to represent Basingstoke on a national stage. Every customer who has visited us, recommended us, celebrated with us or simply supported our journey has played a part in this achievement. This award belongs to our team, but it also belongs to the community that has supported us.”
The Outstanding Achievement – Customer Service of the Year recognition serves as a testament to the restaurant’s continued dedication to hospitality and its belief that exceptional service should be an integral part of the dining experience.
For Spices & Spirits, the award is not viewed as a destination, but as encouragement to continue raising its standards and delivering memorable experiences for its guests. Experience the award winning food at www.spicesandspirits.co.uk
