“Thai food, South Shields best kept secret!” the Thai chef, serves fantastic home cooking - Thai home cooking! The meals are cooked to order using fresh ingredients, not frozen meals. Service can be a little slow, but always well worth the wait. Don't worry about the how hot the curry is - all meals can be ordered mild, medium, hot and very hot, as all meals are cooked to order.The Maltings is the home of the Jarrow Brewery, which is on the ground floor. The Jarrow ales and guest beers are excellent. The staff offer small samples for you to try, if you are not familiar with the brews. Excellent range of lagers, and not the usual suspects. All in all a cracking place.
