Mim Spice - An Award Winning Indian Restaurant in Great Wakering SS3 Two hundred years ago the first curry house was opened in Britain, by one Indian migrant who wanted to cater for those who wanted something other than the typical red meat and vegetables that were staples on the British menu. It took a long time for curry to be as popular as it is now and there were many contributions to it’s success, such as the two world wars which brought with them an influx of migrant men looking for work in our damaged lands, to renovate the bombed out eateries of yesteryear and turn them into the curry houses of today. Many of these derelict buildings were town center dwellings, located near to public houses and places of industries and so the curry houses, once established, couldn’t be ignored and soon the post-pub curry was booming.
