I have been fortunate to have discovered The Boathouse Hotel on Kata beach a small boutique hotel with the wow factor. The hotel itself is located directly on the beautiful Kata beach. Whilst the hotel has all the bells and whistles with superb staff it is the restaurant that makes this a must visit. The restaurant provides an extensive selection of delicious extremely well prepared dishes both Thai and western food. During my stay early on I met the executive chef Jonathan Bruell who was introducing himself to various guest at breakfast time. He was extremely friendly and inquired was there any issues and was there anything special I required. As it was I was celebrating one of life’s events a few days later with a number of friends. We agreed to meet the following day when we discussed a special menu for the event. On the day an area had been set aside for my group of ten where we were served a wonderful selection of pre dinner canapés with our cocktails. Following this we enjoyed the most wonderful food cooked to perfection. We started with omelettes Arnold Bennett, a fabulous dish of fluffy eggs smoked haddock and cheese , followed by consume, then fillets of lamb served with a massaman risotto. A deconstructed Eaton mess followed then cheese. It is a very honest comment that the food was better than a number of Michelin starred restaurants I have eaten in, and I suspect that were the chef in Bangkok or another major city he would have his own star. Also one evening Jonathan as an evening special produced wagu steak pies. These individual pies were just pure heaven, and a dish to look out for if a visit to the Boathouse is on...

We recently held our Gentlemen's monthly luncheon at The Boathouse which also doubled up as our annual Christmas lunch.

From the very start the service was excellent and the food surpassed even Chef Johnathon's very high standards.

Starting with a selection of exceptional welcome nibbles through the starters of salmon and scallop mousseline or Beef carpaccio to the beef cheek consomme to the magnificent turkey and ham Christmas main there was nothing to fault.

It appeared that Chef Jonathon was challenging us when it came to the cheese course with 15 different cheeses to choose from served with port but we managed to rise to the occasion whilst keeping in the back of our minds that dessert was to follow.

Christmas is not Christmas without a Christmas pudding and this year's was moist and rich in flavours to the point that everyone was scraping their plates to ensure they had not missed even the smallest crumb.

Sated we sat back to enjoy our coffee when the mince pies were served, wonderful as always, and to peruse through the goody bag that everyone was given containing home made stollen, shortbread biscuits and chocolate.

Some of us stayed on for an enjoyable cigar in the upstairs area overlooking the beach so as not to disturb other guests.

I cannot recommend The Boathouse highly enough, especially when it comes to Christmas celebrations, as no one goes that extra step as much as Chef Jonathon to ensure you have a...
