A Johnstone restaurant will hold a charity meal to support people affected by the floods in Nepal.

Spicy Garden, at 3 Rankine Street, serves Nepalese and Indian cuisine.

The restaurant is normally closed on Mondays but will open specially for the fundraiser on Monday 28th September.

The meal will be served from 5pm until 8pm. Guests will receive a two-course meal and a glass of soft drink for £22.95 per person.

The floods began on 26th August after a glacier collapsed near the Nepal-China border, sending water and debris through communities in northern Nepal.

At least 1,386 people have died and more than 5,100 remain missing. Homes, roads, bridges and power facilities have also been destroyed.

The organisers said in the event flyer: “Your £22.95 is more than the price of a meal.

“It is a message of hope.

“It is a helping hand.

“It is saying to someone in Nepal: ‘You are not forgotten.’”

The event follows a separate fundraiser held by Dé Buddha Authentic Nepalese Restaurant & Bar in Johnstone on Monday 14th September.
