Mint celebrates its first birthday in style with its loyal customers
Over a hundred guests joined in Mint Indian and Bangladeshi Cuisine’s first year celebration last week and enjoyed a Bollywood themed night with live music, a drinks reception and fine food. Mint loves to spice things up so this was no ordinary celebration. Mint took the opportunity to thank their most loyal customers for their support with a special award. Staff also received awards for their hard work over the year. This follows on from Mint’s own success in winning the regional award for best Indian Ethical Restaurant for their green credentials. The evening was hosted by the BBC’s Anita Bhalla, OBE, who is also Chairperson of Midlands Arts Centre. The keynote speaker was Khalid Mahmood MP. A prize raffle raised over £200.00 which will be used to pay 75% of the cost to purchase a tube well, with the remaining 25% to be found by people who will use it. The well will provide clean and fresh water in a village called Kamar Khal in Bangladesh. Aftab Rahman, Marketing Manager said “It’s important for us to support people from our country of origin and £200.00 goes along way in Bangladesh. We’re planning to develop a Mint Foundation in the near future”. He also added “We wanted to show how grateful we are to our loyal customers as they have supported us through a difficult economic period and we look forward to cooking their delicious favourite dishes for them over the coming years”.
