A very small but superb restaurant in the heart of Keswick. On phoning to book a table I was told of the requirement to have a two course meal and that I could bring a bottle of wine if I wished and how much corkage applied. The menu was varied with daily specials and all the food was cooked to... More

An unusual dining experience having Thai food in a guesthouse but the quality of food makes up for the small space along with the super friendly service. Richard and Phon run a very smooth operation and, with help from their daughter, present a genuine taste of Thailand. Phon is Thai and offers some Thai food I have not seen on... More

Great hosts and great food. We had a gorgeous meal and will definitely be back. As the restaurant is so small I would recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment!

This was our third annual visit during our weeks walking holiday. The food and service were are previously excellent. Phon, Richard and their two lovely daughters do all they can to ensure the evening is memorable. My wife and I were in Thailand in January so it was good to chat with Phon about her lovely country.

Decided to book dinner here based on the TripAdvisor reviews - intrigued by the setting and also the thumbs up for the food. Sent a booking request via the email address on this TripAdvisor page and received a prompt response about availability. It was also made clear that diners have to order a minimum of 2 courses each. That was... More

What a find! Thank you to tripadvisor. Really amazing food. Id recommend the red curry and the king prawns with tamarind (special of the day when we went) The mango sorbet was over-sweet and a bit insipid but it was a small complaint about an otherwise truly memorable meal.

Found this place through Tripadvisor and we're glad we did. It's really nice. The other reviews are generally spot on. There are three things you need to know: 1. Book. There are only spaces for 12 people. 2. Bring your own alcohol - it doesn't have a licence. 3. It's not a buzzy atmosphere place - it really is in... More

This thai restaurant is within the front room of a B&B, but don't let this put you have. I had the pleasure of enjoying probably the best thai food I have had in the UK. The hosts went out of there way to make us welcome. In deciding if we wanted to give it a go, we were a little... More

My wife and I arrived 30 minutes early and took a walk around Keswick until 7pm when we were booked in. The BB doesn't look much from the outside and the restaurant is were guests eat breakfast I would guess but they do make it look nice and authentic. All the food on the menu looked great so we decided... More
