Star of Siam at The Highfield Hotel — Restaurant in Sunderland

Great restaurant with delicious food. Went here with my wife and kids for my wife's birthday a year ago and then again last night. The staff were really friendly even walking my son to the bathroom when he couldn't find the way.

The food was great. Everything I tried tasted like time and attention had been paid to it. I'm glad that standards remained high a year later. We had the the Siam sharer and the duck sharer to start which were great. For our mains we had prawn pad Thai, lemon chicken, prawn n broccoli and stirfryed beef. The standout to me was the prawn pad Thai but the crispy noodles with the lemon chicken deserve a shout out.

In terms of the decor, the restaurant looked beautiful at first glance, following the Thai theme well with bamboo planters, sculptures and even a water feature in the centre. Looking out the windows across the fields you can see all the way to Penshaw monument.

Overall i would go back as i definitely enjoyed...

The food here is always fantastic. Great service from very friendly staff. 🤩Definitely recommend the Massaman Curry and Ribs! We’ve ordered takeaway before which is just as good. The Highfield is also dog friendly in the bar area where you can order food, we did see a yappy sausage dog there on one visit. There’s a small outside seating area out the front which is nice in the summer; would benefit from a bin store around the side (car park area). Will be back for...

So after reading lots of good reviews we decided to order our first and last delivery. We got a combination platter which was ok apart from the satay chicken which was dry and overcooked. Our mains were both really bland although the carrots were chopped nicely. If it hadn't been for the chili sauce that came with the platter I could of ate half of what I did.i wouldn't recommend you order from here , try your local takeaway better...
