JRG23 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I’m sure this has been covered. But I’m a new guy here in Thailand. At least living. But anyway, I want to take my Thai girl for some real British grub. Don’t fancy bars down nana etc. But where’s best, any ideas? I’ve seen Robin Hood pub on the net. Any good? Any place outside of sukhumvit. Thanks for any ideas. Cheers. J Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Where's best? That is a tough one.....depends what you call British food but Robin Hood is very average indeed. Lamb stew at Harvest on Soi 31 would be a good example of British food for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post johnmell Posted December 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) The Sportsman on Soi 13 has a large menu of British type food. Not too pricey, and good quality when i've been there. Edited December 5, 2018 by johnmell 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyhat Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 The Black Swan is better than most pubs in the UK. I recommend Toad in the Hole. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRG23 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Think we'll try Black Swan. Toad in the hole sounds good. Not sure whether the missus will like it though! Thanks everyone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted December 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2018 Your proposition could lead to a relationship breakdown. Quite apart from my opinion British cuisine is about the bottom of the ladder in terms of the various cuisines I have encountered, many Thai women are unable to move out of their comfort zone of Som Tam and Tom yam goong. At the very least, I suggest you remove cold pork pies and warm beer from any prospective menu. Disgusting. 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2702 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Decent cafe on ekkamai called London cafe I think. Looked stable but times change not been there in at least 3 years but a more than decent English breakfast and a cup of tea. Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to view traditional Pom food as being little more than beer soak, although I do have a fondness for their disgustingly unhealthy Yorkshire pudding, as long as it is made properly and served with rare beef. A traditional Cornie isnt bad. Warm beer is an anathema to any sophisticated Palate. I think of such things as Wine Jellies and shudder with anticipated nausea. Marmite too...and that disgusting Vegemite stuff...oh wait thats from your neck of the woods isnt it mate? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnapat Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 There is nothing wrong with good British grub, although I haven't tried any for years. What is far more unhealthy are the McDonalds, KFC's , Pizza Huts etc etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree a Cornish pastie can be quite tasty, although I am unable to understand the British addiction to overboiled vegetables. I wonder why cabbage is considered inedible unless it has been turned to mush. Be aware libelling the venerable Australian institution of Vegemite could lead to entry being denied at our borders. Americans react to the taste of Vegemite as if they have been poisoned, which makes it very strange the brand was bought out by a USA company. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone You won't be disappointed mate, your missus on the other hand.. I've taken a couple of Thai birds in there a few times, I've never seen one finish a meal, the portions are pretty sizable. They also serve Thai food if you decide to make it a regular thing though. You may want to sit up stairs, if you do you might have to ask them to stick the air on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony125 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Think the search for Brit food is for your pleasure, Never seen any Thai girl really enjoy Brit food ,hell they don't like American dishes. I have to eat alone on Thanksgiving Day as my wife hates turkey. Doesn't like ham on Easter says "it's too salty" doesn't like cheese "It's too salty" Krispy Kreeme donuts "it's too sweet" blah blah.
