CashBlack Is Powering the Stalls at the 4th Annual UK Caribbean Food Awards

On Monday 23 November, the 4th Annual UK Caribbean Food Awards take over the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane for a night celebrating the people behind the UK's Caribbean food and drink. This year, the business stalls are Powered by CashBlack. When you buy from a stall on the night, you can earn cashback with the CashBlack app.

The Night

The awards celebrate UK Caribbean food and beverage professionals and businesses, rewarding and recognising the people connected to the industry. Here's what's on, from the organiser's own line-up:

• Red carpet arrival and a welcome drinks reception
• Networking and business stalls
• Live entertainment
• An awards ceremony across 20 categories
• A Caribbean dinner and desserts
• VIP and media personalities in attendance
• Goody bags for every guest
• A charity raffle with the UKCFA 2026 charity partner
• The afterparty

Doors open at 4:30pm and the evening runs from 5pm to 11pm.

Why Caribbean Food Businesses Matter

Caribbean food is part of everyday life in the UK, from the takeaway on the high street to the caterer at the wedding, the bakery, the bottle of hot pepper sauce in the cupboard and the stall at the carnival. Behind each one is somebody who built it: a family recipe turned into a business, a market pitch that grew into a restaurant, a brand that fought its way onto the shelves.

Nights like this put those businesses in the spotlight. Recognition brings customers. Customers keep doors open. That's the part we care about at CashBlack: making sure the money you were going to spend anyway reaches the businesses that built the food you love. And we pay you back for choosing them.

The Stalls, Powered by CashBlack

The business stalls are where you can buy straight from Caribbean food and drink businesses on the night. CashBlack is powering those stalls, so a purchase at any stall with a CashBlack stand can earn you cashback.

Your cashback lands in your CashBlack wallet. From there you can cash it out or give it to a cause you care about through GiveBack.

How to Earn at the Stalls

• Download CashBlack and sign up before you go (your CashBlack pass is in the app).
• Shop any stall with a CashBlack stand.
• Show your pass, the stall scans it and your cashback lands in your CashBlack wallet.

Sign up before the night so your pass is ready when you reach the stalls. You can join on the web at https://cashblack.co.uk/signup or download the app from the App Store or Google Play.
