The categories also include eight awards for the best kebab restaurants across the UK.

Last year, two Oxfordshire kebab vans within a few miles of each other made the final of the star-studded British Kebab Awards.

Southmoor Kebab and Grove Kebab Van - 15 minutes away - were both in the running for Kebab Van of the Year at the revered industry event.

The awards are run in association with Just Eat and supported by the Kebab Alliance, the trade body for the sector.
