“This is a brilliant charity which really helps our brave service men & women. They put their lives on the line and should be remembered and helped. The Soldiers’ Charity Big Curry is a fantastic way of bringing people together to enjoy delicious curry and raise money to help those that help us. I encourage everyone to get involved.”

“We all love a good curry and we all have now realised how much we owe our troops, so come on- make a curry or go out and eat one and raise funds to help our lads and lasses- I know I will.’”

Heston Blumenthal OBE

“Curry has a huge place in our national affections, like our armed forces. I’m delighted to support The Big Curry – a great way to raise money for soldiers and their families when they really need it.”

Gregg Wallace

“I recently met the Mum of a soldier badly injured in Afghanistan and having heard of the help that family has received from The Soldiers’ Charity, I am 100% behind this great fundraiser. So come on, cook a curry and support our soldiers at the same time!”

Rick Stein

“I can think of no more convivial thing to do than cooking three or four curries for family and friends with plenty of steamed rice, poppadoms and a salad of sliced tomato, onions, vinegar, salt, cumin, cayenne and fresh coriander. This is a joy in itself but imagine that you’re also raising funds for ABF The Soldiers’ Charity, it makes it all the more joyful.”

Anjum Anand

“I love curry. Our soldiers love curry. The Soldiers’ Charity Big Curry is the perfect way to support our soldiers. Get into your kitchen and cook up a Big Curry today.”

Simon Rimmer

“I have been privileged to see some great Army chefs at work and they’re typical of the soldiers who just get on and do their jobs in exceptionally challenging circumstances. I think the Big Curry is a unique way to show support for our troops and raise some funds for those who need our help.”

Antony Worrall Thompson

“I’m delighted to once again support the Soldiers’ Charity Big Curry – it’s a brilliant event to help brilliant people. Raising cash by eating curry – I’d urge anyone to take part and can’t think of a tastier way of fundraising for this excellent cause.”

Richard Farleigh

“I think the Big Curry is a really enterprising way to raise money for soldiers who’ve put their lives on the line and now need some help. I’d urge everyone to tuck in and support this brilliant event.”
