Siam Smile Asian Street food cafe — Restaurant in England

Out of all the places I have visited, this is probably the worst experience I have ever had. We knew that the place wasn't cheap from the beginning - £5 for a small bowl of rice is a laughable and between £12-15 for a curry and your looking at around £20 for a main. We were prepared to pay these prices but the food itself and portion size was disappointing. We ordered the spare ribs, plain noodles, panang chicken, beef massaman along with jasmine rice. The ribs were OK but nothing special. The panang chicken lacked flavour, the rice was hard (felt like it could have been yesterday's rice) and the carrots used in the beef massaman tasted as if they had gone off. We brought this up with the owner who had a word with the cook who said that there was nothing wrong with the carrots. In the most places I have been to, they would have apologised and offered a replacement dish but not here. My wife went on and ate the food bar the carrots. When the bill came, we brought up the fact that we were not happy with the massaman and ended up having an argument with the owner. At the end of the day, they deducted £6 off the bill (the curry was charged for at £15).

Would not go back again - the food here is very average. Our favourite Thai (Ting Tong Thai) is 100 times better - both food...

There is a car park more a less opposite the Antrobus Hotel where the Siam Smile is located but beware as even disabled drivers have to pay in this car park.

The Siam Smile restaurant has a lovely view of the gardens at the hotel and the room is nice and airy even in this hot weather.

The restaurant now does a buffet Monday & Wednesday but you can still have the a la carte on the buffet evenings. There is also live music on the first Monday or Wednesday of the month but check with the hotel for details.

I decided to go for the buffet option although my wife went for the a la carte option and I decided to go for the mixed starters which were all very good but I really enjoyed the chicken satay with its lovely thick sauce so had an additional portion of those - at no extra cost on the buffet deal.

For my mains I had a red chicken curry which had just the right amount of heat for me and came with excellent jasmine rice.

The service was excellent and didnt complain when we changed our minds - a number of times - and we look forward to...

My experience was staying at the Antrobus hotel after visiting Stonehenge, and being delighted by the Siam Smile Thai Kitchen, that is situated within the hotel itself. There is a menu in the room and small details help to distinguish the arrangement that is clearly symbiotic; like the modern desk, mirror and potted plants that surround the menu in the room.

The menu is well constructed and explained, the dishes are interesting and the owner Joy has a lot to be proud of here. I chose a vegetarian meal, Vegetable Tempura, Tofu Panang and Steamed Jasmine Rice - the flavours and cuisine were well balanced and presented. I had two large Thai beers and sticky toffee pudding afterwards. The menu says nothing about vegan and gluten-free options, but Joy listens to her customers!

Cold Thai beer is stocked by the restaurant, but the hotel bar can send other options to your table in the attractively decorated wing. The key points are the food and the service, worth going back and maybe visiting their sister shop - Miss Bubble...
