    Lovely food and service, only one small issue being that we had never eaten Thai before and asked the waiter for advice on the different dishes. Either he didn't understand or hear us properly or couldn't speak very good English so didn't really respond. We ended up taking an educated decision to go for curry. Which was gorgeous. His service was impeccable and was friendly throughout. Would definitely return and recommend.

    We went for a birthday meal and the whole evening was lovely. We took in a cake beforehand and they brought it to our table complete with candles and a song. The food was amazing and the atmosphere brilliant. The staff were so friendly. We will definitely go back again

    My family thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Dinner for 6 of us. Beautifully served. A nice selection on vegan menu. Corn fritters were tasty. Guys loved the giant prawns from main menu. Will definitely return to try more dishes

    As per normal food and service top notch. Would recommend the shared starter for 2 and I tried the weeping tiger which was excellent. Fantastic evening recommend you try Thai one as soon as possible you won’t be disappointed.
