Northampton Indian restaurant donated hot meals to care home staff on New Year's Day

A Northampton curry house has donated meals to staff working at two care homes to say thank you for their efforts in tackling Covid-19.

Staff from Saffron, in Castilian Street, delivered portions of chicken tikka masala and pilau rice to staff at Cliftonville Care Home and Spencer House Care Home on New Year’s Day.

The restaurant also donated 150 face masks to each care home.

Owner Naz Islam, who was honoured for his own efforts during the pandemic at the British Curry Awards, said: “Those fighting on the frontline of coronavirus deserve our unwavering support and we want to do all we can to say thank you for their efforts.

“It’s tough out there, they are doing an incredible job and while this is only a small gesture hopefully it can put a smile on their faces at such a difficult time."

The restaurant has also extended its 50 per cent discount offer to all frontline NHS and emergency services workers throughout January.
