Incredible food, attentive service and a very happy birthday was had! What an absolute gem this little pub/thai restaurant is. We cannot wait to return! Superb.

Well what can I say. My previous profession has been in the kitchens for many years, I absolutely love Thai cuisine. I have had many Thai food experiences, but must I say I have not had a selection of dishes with an abundance of flavour like you get here. The front of house service was second to none. All of the produce is of a high quality front and back of house. Me and my partner came away feeling extremely satisfied with absolutely everything. If you love thai then this is the place to come. No better thai restaurant than this within 100 miles of here. Highly recommended. Will one hundred percent be revisting.

Warm cider (no ice offered), no choice of gin and flat tonic, special sharing starter was good but overpriced, red curry was way too salty and Pad Thai was boring… worst of all drinks took 20mins to arrive, prawn crackers took 40mins to arrive and the starter took over an hour to get to us despite the fact that we had preordered the day before. Low quality main meal took and hour and a half - also that little lot was over £40 each!! we won’t be going back!! Which is a shame because the people were very nice… They tried but failed.

Lovely place to stop in and have a beer and some authentic Thai food ?I had the Tom Ka soup which I haven’t had before and it was absolutely delicious, the flavours were so creamy yet spicy, I could eat nothing but that for the rest of myLife.They also had a great selection of specials, I went for the sea bass curry with some stir fry noodles on the side and again it was very tasty indeed. Admittedly, I was incredibly filled up with food and not a bad price either!I think next time I will try the spring rolls, the dumplings and also a Thai green curry. Thank you so much ??

Great place. Brilliant food. Excellent service. Best Thai food I have had.Vegetarian options: Very good choiceDietary restrictions: One of our party has a serious nut allergy and Sergio, the owner, did everything to ensure that this was accommodated for.

Excellent freshly cooked food. Heat of dishes can be adapted and gluten free and vegan options available.

Such a wonderful evening spent here. The food was freshly prepared per order and was delicious. The owner Sergio couldn't have been more welcoming! We were staying at a local hotel and had walked to the restaurant. Sergio insisted that he drop us back to our hotel after dinner. Such a kind gentlemen. Would absolutely recommend this place for a relaxed and enjoyable evening.

I just returned from a dinner this evening that I booked for 6 o clock for two where we had starters and mains. It took over one hour to recieve our starters and another 45 minutes for our mains. The dinner overall took 2 hours for what was a very tasty but standard Thai meal. We were informed that a health inspector had conducted a review that evening and that is what caused the delay, but the two hour timeframe did not feel justified and it appears from other reviews that the waiting time is not a one off. We recieved one free drink each and prawn crackers free of charge, but were still charged service charge in the 85 pound bill. Another gentleman next to us had also been waiting a significant time for his food too (there was only 3 of us in the restaurant up until 7/7.30). The food was very nice and I commend the chef, but I unfortunately will not be returning and would not recommend.

Absolutely a hidden gem, we were in the area for the day and needed to find somewhere for food in the late evening. A quick search and the Ananta Thai pub sounded just want we were looking for. We arrived after 9pm and were unsure if the kitchen would be open but the gentleman checked and said all was fine and seated us in the dining area. The building is very charming but there is not much room for tables.The menu is great and you are able to choose the meat option for the curries and noodle dishes.The staff are very friendly and attentive taking the orders nice a quickly.When the food arrived the dishes were of a good portion and we shared two main dishes between us.The Thai curry was delicious and rich we also enjoyed the Pad Thai.Would highly recommend!

Delicious food, wonderful service. Prawns for starter and lamb was amazing. We had to wait a bit as Saturday night and all freshly cooked but worth the wait. We were going to walk back to the Cricketers but we were offered a lift. So friendly. Would definitely go again.

We booked a table for 5 with one of our party in a wheel chair last Saturday. However nothing was too much trouble for the host and helped us in to our seats. The food was unbelievable and really tasty - definitely the best Thai I have ever had. Excellent value and we will surely be back. And yes freshly made and good food does take time to prepare cook and serve and it was well worth the wait. Thank-you for a really lovely evening.

Where do I even start! This place is an absolute little gem, the food is quite simply the best Thai food you will ever experience this side of Thailand. Everything is fresh with flavours that are just bursting, what an experience for your taste buds and endorphins. Genuine authentic Thai food that is good enough for royalty. Me and my wife ordered far too much, however we finished everything we ordered from the amazing starters, through to the incredible mains. Our eyes are definitely bigger than our greedy bellies but my goodness it was worth it. Sergio is a great host and his wife is most definitely an extremely talented chef! Purely and truly incredible. Thank you, we will be back very soon ?Parking: Plenty of available parking
