Ulysses G. Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 A few people have recommended Archers restaurant for their Sunday roast and they are near the top of the recomendations on Trip Adviser - which is mainly tourists. I have not tried it yet. What do the expats think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expatmakmak Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I went there a couple of years ago and found the place satisfactory, deh wah lacking in atmosphere. Three of us expats went and although the food was aroi it was not what I would call aroi mak mak. None of us have felt an urgent need to return since. All this talk of roasts has got me hungry for one though, so I may have to try again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBrit Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I have eaten there a few times and must say I have found the food very good every time. I would particularly recommend the gordon blue, the best I have had in Chiang Mai but a country mile. The roast will be the next thing I try there, I intend to pop down for a Sunday to. If its good could possible also be an option for Christmas. Mark the owner is also a nice guy, always very helpful and chatty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonguy Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 it's ok but not great I'd say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 We were going there regularly on on our visits to Chaing Mai and we ate most of our meals there as the food was horrible and expensive in our hotel. Really good hambugers i remember and my gf said the thai food was pretty good. Mark and his wife were good people too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Try the Sunday roast,you won't be disappointed. I concur. I thought it was good. The guy who runs the place seems to know what he is doing and is very pleasant. One bit of constructive criticism though, I would give customers a larger portion of roasted potatoes even if they have to charge more. Someone mentioned this on another thread and I agree. It would make the meal more filling and IMHO the portion now is just too small for someone who really enjoys roast potatoes with their Sunday roast.

davieboyshere Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I've been several times and the food has always been good and the roast was great. Some of the dishes are the best (I agree about the cordon bleu comment above) and some are better elsewhere but when you consider the prices then its a big recommendation. The host Mark a good laugh but not in the mornings when he's quite obviously hungover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe restaurant's could ask "upsize for x baht"......like Burger King and McD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saan Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I haven't made Archers yet but found Sweethearts today and had their roast. Not bad. Plenty of vegetables and a large Yorkshire pudding replica. But if you are hanging out for roast vegetables forget it. Two, very small, roast spuds. You won't go home hungry. Baht 195.

pgthompson Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I went there yesterday for the first time, the host and hostess were very welcoming, have you met Graham from the Pub? The yorkshire puddings were the best I've had in Thailand, the presentation of the food and the portion was excellent value for money, 200 baht. I'll certainly be going back and would recommend people to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatouthruthefog Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 You fooled me I thought you were talking about the people with a bow and arrow. Me 2 Archers? "An every day story of country folk" according to BBC Radio 4. But maybe that was a few years ago.....? Never heard the name before. Can anyone give a name to the street? Same with Sweethearts? Yes, I should get out more. And Mr Thompson, where does Graham from The Pub figure in all this? Are you saying he gives a great welcome? If so, I must have missed that microsecond mistake.

Archers is on the street with Wowee coffee on the corner (not too far from AUA). If you are on walking street, you turn North and go about half a block. I think that it is the same shophouse that a guy name Don had a center for the disabled for many years. Edited November 21, 2011 by Ulysses G.
