DonniePeverley Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Guys can you recommend anywhere in Bangkok that does a top Sunday roast dinner? I have tried a couple of places - one that was outrageously expensive to the point i nearly thew up when i saw the bill (and i'm not cheap eater) but the meal itself was rather average, with yorkshire puddings that looked and tasted like Bricks. On the other hand, i then went to another place that basically just threw veg into a heated buffet containers and you were left to just pick up some dry veg, and a thin strips of Chicken, which was ghastly. Any recomendations? I don't suppose they do Turkey in these parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRtommyR Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Hunter's Garden Bar and Restaurant on Sukhumvit 101/1 is decent if you live out in that direction. Beef/Lamb/Pork/Chicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerzy65 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Ok The old English, Royal Oak, the Robin Hood, and several bars in Sukhumvit Soi 13 all under 400 baht 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Loads of places - Royal Oak is the best IMO. Around 395 baht including a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londoner - As its out on Pattanakarn Rd it requires a taxi to get to (if someone is not driving), but thats not an issue on a Sunday as traffic is relatively light. The usual Sukhumvit Pubs are decent - quality of beef may vary. Kai - is good, decent beef quality, great for a group (pricey booze though). Goji at Marriott Marquis - probably one of the best, meat quality is (was) excellent (Prime Rib - US I think) - its a buffet, so not 'Sunday Roast' per se, but it has everything a Sunday Roast has and a lot lot more... obviously more expensive than the above options.

smutcakes Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Kai probably the best one I have had.. Feels less commercial than the typical pub ones which just feel like conveyor belts of microwaved boiled rubbish. Personally find none of them come close to a home cooked one.. And generally are bland and disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Same as a UK style breakfast....the only way to guarantee quality and flavour is through your own endeavour in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roast chicken dinner is actually rather healthy. White chicken or Turkey, vegetables, some mash, yorkshire puddings ... ? The problem i find is the yorkshire puddings they make here - they look and taste like Bricks. They also can't do gravy. And roast chicken dinners with the skin on - WTF is that about. Who eats SKIN !? Edited October 25, 2023 by DonniePeverley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that, always very dense. Never found a good one in Bangkok. Quote They also can't do gravy. And roast chicken dinners with the skin on - WTF is that about. Who eats SKIN !? No way!! Roast chicken should absolutely have skin on! Nice and crispy. Who the Hell takes the skin off a roast chicken?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with grass-fed red meat. It's probably about the most nutrionally dense food you can consume. Hard to beat a good roast beef or better still, roast lamb.
