This ordinary English town-center pub offers a surprisingly good Thai-food menu. Nothing over-fancy but very ample portions of good hot spicy food.
I visited again recently for the first time since the smoking ban and enjoyed it even more. Now one can see right across the room! And depart after dining without stinking of other peoples' stale smoke. At the same time, the place has been marginally smartened-up without losing the appeal of its unpretentious character or by being prettified.
There are excellent tables by the large front window allowing good views of the comings and goings in the Horse Market. The walls have an interesting range of old photographs of bygone local scenes. The draught beers are well kept and not served too cold. The food orders are individually prepared, so expect to wait for about 20 minutes for yours to arrive. A decent lunchtime plate of tasty food for less that £6 can't be bad! It deserves support.
(I confess I've never visited this pub/restaurant other than at weekday lunchtimes. Sometimes pubs change clientele and their character in the evenings and at weekends.)
