KhunBENQ Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Breakfast also very voluminous. I am not an expert for English breakfast, but it was a good experience. They are one of the few places in the area where you get a breakfast as early as 7h in the morning, so I visited them once before leaving for the bus.

NormanW Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Sounds like a near future visit. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I had a free breakfast there. It was OK but I think the full price was 135B and it didnt seem any better than that served at Retox round the corner for 98B. Retox breakfast is available 24 hours.

The guy gets a FREE meal at a restaurant and then has the gall to criticize them, and then, to make it even worse he recommends another restaurant. Really! So people just don’t have a clue.

Weblo Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It is located just north of the Diana lengkee intersection on soi buckow. It is a sports bar. Very bust on footy night, quite a nice place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMS Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I preferred it when it was walled in and air conned. Once the outside wall came down and it become an open air bar I stopped going. The traffic on that Soi is pretty busy and the bar is right on the road so diesel fumes and chips doesn't mix well with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoboi Bebobp Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I like Witherspoons. Big beer and whisk(e)y choice, good food (although limited experience so far) and good service. And prices are comfortable -- not cheap, not expensive. Considering the place has at least 17 TVs for the sportaholics (I'm not one), there's not much to complain about. But, I do agree with another comment about the close proximity of heavy traffic. But hey, it's on Buakhao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The traffic on that Soi is pretty busy and the bar is right on the road so diesel fumes and chips doesn't mix well with me I wouldn't make a habit of going there because of the traffic and fumes but I went to watch the NRL and decided to try the food and was pleasantly surprised. It is certainly better food than Robins Nest where I often meet up with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topt Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Do they sell beers other than Thai? Every beer under the sun They had Old Speckled Hen on draught last year. Still did a few weeks ago. Have been out for the last 10 days or so as I asked then and again last night (this morning). The manager said they currently have Ruddles (if I remember correctly?) and they normally also have Boddingtons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What difference does the price I paid have to do with anything? The breakfast I had was the full-price one and my comments were based on that. I used to eat breakfast there some time ago but then they upped the prices. Their basic breakfast is now 130baht but does not include juice (I tried it 2 weeks ago).Killkennys (round the corner in LK metro) small breakfast at 100 baht is much better value. Witherspoons bigger breakfast is 150 or 155 baht from memory so Retox at 98 baht is pretty unmatchable on price. Not sure there is much difference in the quality between the 3 I mentioned.

Kaoboi Bebobp Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Just had the morning breakfast special yesterday. It's 150 baht. Wished they offered something other than Nescafe instant coffee with the meal. Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) I noticed on their website they are selling Phaal curry (derived from PHALLUS as in you supposedly are super macho to order it) the Anglo-Indian curry reputed to be the spiciest curry on the planet. Is this for real? Do they really do it as in the UK or is just a gimmick item on their menu? Edited October 12, 2015 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news on the OSH. The supply in Thailand tends to be a bit scatter gun. I tried all 6 venues in the area that stock it and Witherspoons was fresh. Another English pub over towards Theprassit tasted crap so they obviously don't have many punters drinking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
