Raval Indian brasserie & Bar | fundraiser for Newcastle Hospitals Charity
Raval Restaurant is raising money for Newcastle Hospitals Charity
Story
It started with a curry. Now, it’s about doing good.
At Raval Indian Brasserie in Gateshead, we created the Inferno Curry — the hottest dish we’ve ever made — after a regular customer known as Curry Hell Carl declared:
“Best curry I’ve ever had — but not hot enough.”
That moment sparked a food challenge, a viral story, and now… a campaign to raise funds for the Great North Children’s Hospital through Newcastle Hospitals Charity.
The Raval Inferno Curry Challenge – Let’s Do Some Good
On Tuesday 27 May, 10 brave finalists will take on The Inferno — a curry made with ghost peppers, naga jolokia, and scorpion chillies, reaching over 1 million Scoville units.
But this isn’t just about heat. It’s about heart.
With the support of our customers, local leaders, and friends across the UK, we’re using the attention to do something meaningful — and we need your help.
How You Can Get Involved:

Fund It
Donate whatever you can using this page. Every penny goes toward making hospital life better for children and families across the North.
Pass It On
Nominate a friend, colleague, or local hero to donate or take on the challenge. Let’s turn this into something the whole country can get behind.
