London: An award-winning London pub owned by ethnic Indian restaurateur Geetie Singh has been named Britain's best organic restaurant.

The Duke of Cambridge, located in the smart north London neighbourhood of Islington, was named the recipient by the Soil Association, which is lays down industry standards for organic food in Britain.

Judges praised 38-year-old Singh's gastronomic pub for its seasonal menu that changes twice daily and the fact that staff at the pub regularly visit the organic farmers and growers that supply them, directly where possible.

Singh, who was named Asian Woman of Achievement in 2001, said she has always loved the British pub culture but has sought to combine that with "fantastic family food."

"I'm as much into Indian food as anyone else and we do serve Indian dishes - I have an aunt in Singapore who gave me lots of recipes," Singh told IANS.

"It's fantastic and fabulous to be recognised by someone like Soil Association," said Singh, whose pub is located in an area that once was home to former prime minister Tony Blair.
