Curry is king and the spice is right at Thai

A warm welcome awaits at town’s newest Thai restaurant

around the £4 to £5 mark and included chicken spring rolls, chicken satay, Thai fish cake and battered prawns.

Thai prawn crackers with sweet chilli dip were also available for £1.95.

Vegetarian starters, such as crispy tofu and vegetable tempura, are also on offer, along with various soups.

We opted to share a portion of Thai fish cakes (£4.25), which were served with a salad garnish and sweet chilli and peanut dipping sauce.

We were impressed and made short work of the starter, which was tasty and had just the right amount of chilli kick.

Thai fish cakes have a different texture to the fishcakes we may be more familiar with and some may find them “rubbery”.

But having tried them before, we were aware of this and I now actually find them quite moreish.

And so on to the mains, with us spoilt for choice yet again.

All the favourites are there, with red, green and massaman curries on offer along with pad Thai, stir fries, salads and specials.

Most curries can be made with chicken (£7.95), beef (£8.95) or king prawn (£9.95) – plus vegetarian versions are available at around the £7 to £8 mark. I ordered massaman tofu – a creamy, mild curry with coconut, potato, tomato, onion RIGHT OF REPLY

My mum ordered a tofu-free version of the same curry, which came with the addition of various different vegetables – an adaptation of the menu which staff were happy to oblige. Accompanie­d with steamed jasmine rice, our curries were delicious and portion sizes were generous.

I would happily return and try the other curries and main courses on offer.

Having shared a starter we still had room for pudding, but the menu was somewhat limited. Choices included chocolate cake, banana split and ice cream.

We tried pineapple with sticky rice and coconut (£3.75) which was a kind of rice pudding concoction.

I have to say that it did not match up to the starter and mains.

More dessert options would definitely be a good idea and do the restaurant justice with such an array of starters and mains.

Overall score: 7
