Saffron team member attends Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace

Thu, 26 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Our team member Rowsonara Begum, received an invitation to attend Her Majesty the Queen's Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday 25 May 2022. This is in recognition of her services via Saffron Indian Takeaway to the local community and other voluntary work during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rowsonara commented, "the palace gardens was so beautiful and it was nice to talk to inspiring people from different walks of life and hear about their journeys. The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton and Prince Williams attended and talked to the crowd.

The food was lovely, from Indian Summer Wrap, traditional scone with blackcurrant jam and clotted cream to smoke salmon and lemon cream cheese mini bagel".

Despite the rainy weather, Rowsonara said that everyone was in high spirits. She further commented "this was a once in a lifetime experience especially as I had the opportunity of attending during the Platinum Jubilee year. I never thought I'd experience something like this in my life. It is such a privilege and honour to receive this and I thank my team and family at Saffron for their hard work and dedication to help the serve the community in Salisbury during the COVID-19 pandemic and the NHS staff".

British Curry Day - funds raised for Wiltshire Community Foundation

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000

We had the pleasure of presenting a cheque for the proceeds raised to Wiltshire Community Foundation in support of British Curry Day which was on 1st December 2021. This was in memory of our forefathers and the curry pioneers that established the Nations favourite dish and to celebrate the 50th Bangladesh independence anniversary.

£1 was donated for every Chicken Tikka Masalla sold during the month of December to HM Lord Lieutenant of Wiltshire's nominated charity by businesses in Wiltshire, which included our establishment.

Lord Lieutenant of Wiltshire Mrs Sarah Rose Troughton nominated Wiltshire Community Foundation to disperse the funds to support local climate youth clubs. Unfortunately, she was unable to be present at the event due to a Royal visit but one of her Deputy Lieutenant Mrs Clare Garrett presented the cheque for the proceeds raised to Ashley Truluck CB, CBE - Chairman of the Foundation.

We would like to thank all our customers who placed orders from us to support us with this cause.

Free Meals for City Hall Volunteers

Sun, 28 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000

50 free meals consisting of vegetable curries and rice were delivered to the NHS staff and volunteers at the City Hall on Thursday 25 February 2021.

The meals were provided for vaccine volunteers "as a way of saying thank you".

Rowsonara Begum, from the takeaway, said: “The success of providing hot meals to the hospital workers during the first lockdown has given us the confidence to offer this service as our way of saying thank you once more.

"We thank Salisbury District Council for this opportunity and hope that our meals help refuel our army of volunteers and NHS workers.

Also, many thanks to the High Sheriff of Wiltshire Major General Ashley Truluck CB CBE who was very helpful in coordinating this arrangement for us and has been encouraging and supportive throughout the planning process.

We hope to provide assistance to the volunteers on a fortnightly basis.
