It's quite embarrassing that we had Thai food for two nights in a row when traveling through the…read moreLake District but... the heart wants what the heart wants! Full disclosure, I wanted to hate this place. It took a while for the hostess to seat us because he was busy chitchatting instead of taking care of people in line. Also, they kind of scoffed when we said we didn't have a reservation even though the place was half full. Then, looking at the menu, the food doesn't come with rice or noodle, and they charge a whopping 2.95 pounds for plain jasmine rice. I was like -.- But DANG their food is amazing! I was completely blown away. Possibly the best Thai food I've ever had outside of Thailand. Who would have thought a restaurant in a little English village would be one of the best Thai food experiences I've ever had. We got the chicken Phad Krapow and the land stir fry. The flavors on these dishes were absolutely perfect. We cleaned the plates! Highly recommend. If this place were in Arlington VA, they would probably know my name and make my food as soon as I walk in the door!

We were offered the menu cards. The waitress was unable to explain the dish types when asked specific question about the menu. I ordered Gaeng Ba Gai (Thai jungle chicken curry). It was good. I am basically from US and have tasted at various Thai places, the chicken always accompanied rice without extra cost. We were asked to order rice separately which is unusual for us which I found is a norm in UK. Overall, little crampy place with narrow entry stairs to dine in good place but good food. Our food was perfectly mellowed to the spice level we had requested. Not giving five stars due to coldness of the waitress and unable explain the menu of her own restaurant. Customer is a big deal for me, by and large !

From the outside it looks basic but when you see the menu and get your food served it's far from basic! Amazing sized portions and just so authentic. We just made it through the starters before indulging into our mains. Little did I expect that my portion would be enough for 3 people instead of myself. Had to box it up and will gladly polish off tomorrow. Can't recommend this place more as it's off the main street, staff and service were so welcoming, serving was quick (albeit it was quiet) and the prices are so cheap! Total package

Mine won't add much more:…read morethe exterior appearance does it few favours, the interior decor is on the way to feeling like someone's front room, but the food was great. With a couple of other people we went for one of the banquets to experience what they have to offer - I was very happy with everything. My companions felt that the starters were a little disappointing, or at least quite generic and at times lacking flavour. I thought they were great though, because I value variety over quality perhaps! We all liked the soups though, which were packed with chicken and other tasty bits. The we had a selection of mains, from prawns to beer and so on. Tender meat, interesting sauces and fresh ingredients: all fine by me.

I had Chicken Satay for starters and Pad Thai for main, it was really good quality and value for £££.

After looking through the receipt we noticed they charged us for six starters as opposed to 3, we were also charged for extra sides we didn't have. Went back to the restaurant the next day (I assume they didn't think we were staying in the lakes) and demanded a refund. Their excuse...? Well, they said they had another group that didn't pay - so, in simple words they decided to recoup their losses by sticking in our bill.

I was sceptical at first, expecting a microwaved meal. How wrong could I be!? We were told on a Tuesday it was curry night - 2 Thai curries with rice for £10. Not bad and not a lot to lose so we tried it out the next Tuesday. We were welcomed by a young man who was very pleasant and he said we can sit anywhere. It has a feel of a pub but this is not a bad thing for an informal bite to eat. The drinks order you have to place at the bar and pay separately as it is 2 separate businesses. This is a strange thing but it doesn't detract from the quality of the food. Also drinks prices are reasonable. The food was served to the table by a lovely woman with a massive smile. The smell as the doors opened from the kitchen was amazing. The presentation was excellent. We hardly spoke whilst eating, it was that good. The penang curry was nice and spicy but full of flavour and the massaman was nice and mild filled with chicken and potatoes. For £10 this place simply cannot be beat on a Tuesday! Even at full prices it is definitely worth it. If you are in early enough you can even get a seat ready for the evening entertainment on a Friday and Saturday which is good if you're into that sort of thing. Don't judge this place for how it looks from the outside as it is an excellent place which deserves to do well.

Service was detailed, swift intelligent and very polite. The ambience quiet and private with lots of dark wood panelling, rather like a club. The food came hot, fresh and delicious.

We had red beef curry with lots of fresh ingredients and the Malaysian rice dish with chicken and prawns beautifully spiced, boiled rice and a large glass of red wine, plus great homemade prawn crackers. - £22 all in!
