The Chili Pickle is one of Brighton's newest restaurants but they are already making a name for themselves as their chef Alun Sperring has just won the XXX mints Can You Handle the Heat competition for his Oxtail Madras.

There were seven finalists from around the country but the judges unanimously decided that Alun's Oxtail Madras should win the award. Peter Grove the organiser said that: "“the rules of the competition stated that not only were the judges looking for a spicy hot curry but also one that was tasty and could be included on a restaurant menu without giving customers a ticket to the toilet or, more seriously, hospital.”

The judges agreed that the Oxtail Madras was spicy but included enough layers of taste and texture to make it an exciting dish.
