Briggsy Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Need ideas. I am out of date with Pattaya's dining scene. Please suggest a British pub restaurant. I have been taken, over, say, the last 2 years to a number of restaurants, often on Lengkee or Chaiyaphun and found the food average. I suspect the people who recommended them were focusing on value for money rather than quality. So, I am looking more for quality and ambience rather than a cheap way to fill my stomach. At the other end of the scale, I don't need to pay for a live band or prime location. I just want quality British pub restaurant type food and I am prepared to pay for it. I welcome your suggestions.

jacko45k Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Well The Pig and Whistle shut. Retox, Robin's Nest, Steak and Co, Dicey Reillys, Mulligans in The Hilton. Rosie O'Grady's. Beefeater. Different with live music... Hooters. Edited August 17, 2019 by jacko45k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 Thanks I don't want Retox nor Hooters. Where is Dicey Reillys, he asks picking one randomly from the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the Royal Garden sprawl next to Avani. Used to be a basement Spinney's (?) supermarket in a long-ago previous existence. Entrance is from 2nd Road. Has dining out front or air conditioned inside. The Filipina crooner is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're thinking Retox on Lengkee maybe. Primarily a breakfast and sports venue. I think they may still have another, larger venue that straddles the 2nd Road end of Soi Honey and the adjacent soi. I recently had fish and chips there and mistakenly added a soup starter thinking the portions may be small. Wrong! The excellent soup came in a proper-sized soup plate with thick, crusty bread and there was maybe 3 big cod fillets and more thick-cut fries than I could handle. I couldn't even finish my pint I was so stuffed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I am extremely dubious about any establishment that gets recommendations on the size of its portions 'cos it makes me think the recommender is focussing on value for money rather than quality. All crooning pubs and restaurants are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have had a good meal there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always pretty quiet and the food is nothing special but then again, that is in line with Brit pubs.

Psimbo Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Try The Haven, two doors down from Retox on Soi Lengke. Quiet except when the golfers are in and always excellent food. For mahoosive portions of good Brit food try Nicky's on Soi Buakhao same side as the hospital about another 200m south.
