Regular visitor for several years and had always left 5 star reviews but really disappointed this time, especially on a special birthday. Ordered pad Thai, as we were told we could have it with tofu, but it came plain, just noodles, no tofu. We politely raised it with a member of staff, who checked in the kitchen and the answer was that they had no tofu - nothing else was offered, no apology. Raised it again on collection of plates having left most of the noodles as they were plain, tastless, and politely suggested perhaps a complimentary dessert (which with the three course price would mean a small £3 discount) it was a request out of principle. Answer back from the kitchen was No. To say we were flabbergasted is an understatement. They even had the audacity to charge the 10% tip - which actually we did pay as I didn't want to penalise the staff when it was the chef who did such a poor job with the food and was so rude in making no effort to rectify the issue. They even charge an extra £1 to have fried rice rather than boiled rice - although some guests seem to get this for free..depends on who you are. The food itself is ok. Even without the awful pad thai, it is not worth £38 for three courses - you are paying for the view ultimately We visit 3 times a year but won't be going back in a hurry and I would think twice before spending alot of...
Read moreWhat a stunning find. A gem of a restaurant. Had such a wonderful meal & dining experience here we booked to go back the next night too.
The menu does not have a huge range of meals, but concentrates on doing fewer selections very, very well indeed. Don't get me wrong, there's enough here to provide a good range of choice in their menu and all of it lovingly prepared and served.
Somewhat of a surprise Suree's kitchen have a partnership with the gastro-pub next door enabling you to have a wider choice of drinks too ... Nice touch.
The food is fresh, vibrant and impeccably well cooked. I love Thai food and thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Roasted belly-pork was heavenly ... also, I've never had deep fried ice-cream before .... what a treat! Light flavoursome and great ending to a meal.
Many dishes contain items that could cause allergies, but the staff ensured this was taken care of.... including a blueberry tart ( not on the menu) made especially .... thanks team, its rate to find such kindness when dining out - this was definitely going an extra mile.
Unfortunately I don't live locally, but need to find additional excuses to revisit.
Overall I'd rate Suree's Kitchen a 10 out of...
Read moreTried this small place after finding the adjacent restaurant all booked. I will upfront my complaints: the menu advertised an 18£ meal but when we sat down we found that an alternate £33/38 (!) prix fixe menu was in place. Upon checking again after the meal I did notice that the displayed menu was for a Thursday, so the prix fixe must be for weekends. I consider this somewhat deceptive advertising.
This price fixe menu only includes appetizer and dessert if you go with the 38 option. No matter how good the food I just can't really justify a 30 dollar pad Thai.
In addition, the space is also somewhat small (I was seated almost blocking the entryway).
That being said we ordered the massaman beef curry, pad Thai and crispy chicken and all the food was very good.
I feel bad since it seems the owner/chef has put a lot of time and skill into their menu. Perhaps they are being overcharged for their location and have to pass it on?
As is I can...
