Best British Kebab winners donate takings to charity

ON the night of the official launch of Atalay’s brand new, extra long kebab van, the Atalay family decided that they would donate the evening’s profits to Thame charities, and today, after considering all the suggestions made by their customers, they have announced which local charities will benefit from the £3,047.12 raised.
