A RETIRED local\u00a0authority\u00a0manager\u00a0is bringing Indian street\u00a0food to Cardiff communities through his newest venture, Spice Shuttle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nKeith Wilkins from\u00a0Creigiau,\u00a0has taken his love of Indian street food and turned it into a job with his travelling truck.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nHe was inspired by time spent backpacking, mainly around India.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u201cI realised how fortunate and wasteful we are in our society, all the people there have in common is poverty,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/span>
\nThis experience stayed with Keith and he now donates a percentage of the profits to The Railway Children charity which supports those in poverty on an international level.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nKeith\u00a0is also as environmentally friendly as\u00a0possible.\u00a0<\/span>
\nServing\u00a0Radyr,\u00a0Pentyrch\u00a0and\u00a0Creigiau, his solar-powered “Shuttle” can run for up to four hours at a time, and\u00a0Keith\u00a0encourages customers to bring their own containers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u201cUp to 60% of customers bring their own containers – some even bring plates\u201d.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe curries cost \u00a35 for a plate of curry and rice, or \u00a34 for a\u00a0children’s\u00a0meal which includes a book and a drink.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe books are sourced from local charity shops\u00a0and Keith says these have been a great success with parents and children.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
