Under the Home Office\u2019s latest immigration reforms (Statement of Changes HC 997, 22 July 2025), chefs have been entirely removed from all three official hiring lists: the Shortage Occupation List, Temporary Shortage List and General Work Visa List. This move effectively restricts the recruitment of skilled chefs from the Indian Subcontinent, regardless of the salary offered, a big challenge to an industry where approximately 90% of kitchen staff are skilled workers from the Indian Subcontinent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The curry sector was already facing acute labour shortages, with just 9,300 Skilled Worker Visas granted to the entire hospitality sector in 2023 and a staff turnover rate of 52% across hospitality. A 2024 survey by an industry trade publication, Spice Business, found that 88% of Asian restaurant owners were struggling to hire skilled chefs due to rising costs and visa hurdles. With the new immigration rules now in place, the situation has dramatically worsened with an estimated 30\u201335% of curry restaurants forced to reduce opening hours or close temporarily in the coming months due to staff shortages.<br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Annual Award Ceremony to Honour the UK\u2019s Top Asian Restaurants Finalists have been unveiled for the annual Asian Restaurant and Takeaway Awards (ARTA), the most prestigious celebration of Pan Asian cuisine in the UK, which this year will be taking place on Monday 6th October 2025 at the London Hilton Park Lane.
