A small Thai restaurant in a basement. Has a lunch menu of 30 items, all very good, ranging from pad pet to geang pet. Each of these dishes is with your choice of meat (pork, chicken, beef, duck) or mixed vegetables or seafood. Each dish will cost £4.50 (veg), £5 (meat), £5.50 (seafood),£6 (Duck) and they all come with rice apart from the noodle dishes. This is a very nice place to go and have a quick and tasty lunch.
Takeaway is also available.
Their full menu is more expensive but still very impressive: mains are around £8-£9 and there is a large selection of specials. I found their Massaman curry delicious.
Their signature dessert, of sliced papaya served on a bed of ice, is a good way to cleanse the palate for the visit to the pub afterwards...
