The Curry Stall, Oswestry (2024)

31/05/2024

Do you know why our food tastes so good and is healthier than the run of the mill restaurant/takeaway rubbish?

Well, it is because we don't use any hidden fillers such as rice powder, ground nuts, cornflour etc. and also, ours are packed with meat - we don't count the pieces and then give the illusion of a.massive portion by adding loads of veg and thickening the sauce/gravy/masala.

Also, our flavours come from cooking each dish from scratch and cooking the proteins in the spice mixture that actually constitutes the final dish. We do not pre cook any meats or use a big pot of base which would make all our dishes taste samey.

These recipes have been developed by me personally over many years - our rice is testament to our hard work and the success of its taste is demonstrated by the number of people that keep trying to prise the recipe from me 😂

Fresh, healthy, clean and tasty - what more can you ask for from a meal at an event/festival?

Oh, and kids, fussy eaters and those that think they don't like curry love them too!

It's becoming increasingly difficult to make money in this game....

Sometimes I wonder why I don't just buy some cheap s**t and sell it for a massive profit. Then I remember why I started this business in the first place.

That doesn't keep me and my family fed and watered though, fighting hard to keep us viable.

I don't want to have to work for someone else and make them rich from my skills and hard work.

Not a sympathy post, just a reality check

Fancy a bit of work in May or know someone that might?

We need 1, maybe 2 members of staff for a couple of shows in May. Weekends of 10-12 & 24-26 May.

These are busy shows, but not absolute behemoths. Ideally you've got experience of working in a kitchen or food stall and are up for working in a fast paced, busy and what can be a noisy environment at times.

You need to be able to deal with direct instructions and have a "time to lean, time to clean" attitude to work. Good levels of personal and general hygiene are essential in this role too, if I smell, I want to be told because that's no good for anyone! 😂

Good rates of pay and travel covered, you'll be sleeping in a tent possibly with other staff of different sexes, so you need to be aware of those arrangements. Privacy is assured for changing etc.

Please don't suggest people that don't have a good work ethic as this can lead to grumpy Mick coming out to play, and that's no good for anyone!

Oh, and free curry all weekend too! 😁😋

Message me directly or tag people here please

Proud to be working with O.C.E.A.N Cheshire - Organising and Caring for Ethnic and All Nations, Crewe FC & Cheshire Football Association this coming Sunday 14th April. This is a Charity Football Day at the Cumberland Arena to celebrate Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation

We will be serving our food from 11:30 - 16:00 or we sell out!

Please come and support this wonderful cause and event and get fed too!

We are attending this event tomorrow and it would be awesome if you could come along and support such a fantastic cause - especially considering the sad events in Australia this morning.

This is the inaugural event and the hope is to generate enough interest and attendance so that it carries on each year in order to help support The Stephen Lawrence Foundation.

There will be a charity football match, bouncy castle, face painting and of course, our food! With 10% of all takings going to the charity.

A great opportunity for all those that have expressed an interest in eating from us, but didn't get the chance due to the locations we traded at....

I look forward to seeing some of you there tomorrow all being well 😄😋

So that's a wrap for pop ups for us and I'm kinda glad in some ways it has to be said. They've been a mixed bag and didn't fill the gap or live up to expectations as I thought they might.

One thing is for sure, if I do them again in the future (hopefully shouldn't need to), then it will be with a trailer/truck, because 2 setup and strip downs back to back is killer!!

I just wish I'd stumbled across the ones that worked well in the beginning, but we live and learn every day!

Thanks to all the venues for having us, all the people that came along and supported us, we've met some truly lovely folks 😊

On to the serious business and mammoth task of prepping for the festivals and events now - although we are in Crewe next weekend for charity football event in aid of Stephen Lawrence Day, so hopefully see some of you there 😁

**PLEASE BE PATIENT GUYS AS THIS WIND IS BATTERING US. IT IS COOKING DOWN THE BURNERS WHICH MEANS COOKING IS SLOWER THAN EXPECTED**

Well, this is it, your final chance to catch us at a pop up this season before the festivals and events start...

We will be serving between 17:00 - 20:00 (or whenever we sell out) at The Windsor Castle

Dine in and take away both available and for the first time ever on the stall, we have chicken and lamb seekh kebabs available too 😋 And remember we also have Dairy, Gluten, Wheat, Nut, Sugar & Soya Free dishes available, so you can dine in complete confidence and have that takeaway you've craved for a long time!

Here's the menu, looking forward to seeing you later!

We are running down the stock before our main season starts, so when it's gone, it's gone!

Like & Share, Far & Wide please you lovely people ✌🏼

05/04/2024

Don't forget that tonight is the last pop up of the season here!

Well, we thought the 2 pop ups this coming weekend (Siop Pwllglas on Friday and The Windsor Castle on Saturday), were going to be our last events before the show season proper kicked in.

However, we have been asked to come along and cater for all the lovely players, families, staff and spectators at this wonderful event in Crewe on Sunday 16th April to help mark Stephen Lawrence Day. So why not come along and help to make this an absolutely awesome occasion?

So, that will be your last chance to get fed from us before we go round the UK as usual!

Can't wait to see you there 😁😋

A charity fun day to celebrate Stephen Lawrence Day.

Another chance for you to come and see us before show season starts.

Limited portions due to late notice though, so be quick!

So, all results now in and we won 2 Silver awards for our pasties.

To say I am overwhelmed, would be an understatement!

Time to crack on with the next stage then I'd say, wouldn't you?!

😁😋

Confirmation from the BPA website and my apologies as it was a pasty, not a pie like the one in my pic!

08/03/2024

I can't keep it in any longer!

We've been working on something behind the scenes and working collaboratively with the guys at Outdoor Pig to produce a range of pies and pasties with our curries in them.

Well, we entered the British Pie Awards this week and found out this afternoon that our first entry - Mughlai Chicken Pie has just been awarded Reserve Winner in the Fusion class, coming in just behind Pieminister!!!

2 or 3 more yet to be judged too...

I told you there were big tings coming 😁

We are back at Siop Gymunedol Pwllglas Community Shop tomorrow evening, serving 6pm - 8pm. We only have 3 more visits this year, before the madness that is festival season kicks off...
