Pad Thai (above the Red Lion pub)
Address:
25 Market Place
Wokingham
Berkshire

The Red Lion pub has undergone several transformations in recent years, but now it has completed a full circle with the return of a Thai restaurant to the rooms above its Market Place location.
The new restaurant is an incongruous mix of old and new, English and Thai. The owners have kept the ancient oak beams exposed and the walls white, while installing a few Thai ornaments here and there to add flavour to its name. The lighting is perfect for the less photogenic among us, with the dining room relying mainly on candles rather than Halogen beams from above.
The uncluttered feel to the restaurant matches the food, which is fresh and uncomplicated. You’ll find all the traditional Thai favourites on this menu, along with one or two dishes you may not have heard of, all at very reasonable prices.
Fresh ingredients and wonderfully fragrant Thai flavours sums up the food. Convivial surroundings ideal for a wide range of occasions sums up the atmosphere.
And at just under £6 on average per dish Pad Thai becomes an option for a snack without it being a wallet or purse-busting experience.
So far so good.
Pad Thai also offers a takeaway service.

"Excellent food. Really tastes like it does in Thailand. Good value - especially for takeaways which have a small discount. Wide range of dishes and friendly Thai staff. My favorite restaurant. Ever!"
Matt, Wokingham, UK. February 22, 2010
"Booked a table for 21 November, which they had entered in error on 22. Apart from the waiter almost laughing at their error, all they offered was to eat in the pub downstairs and knock 10% of the bill! (We ate at the other Thai restaurant in Wokingham). Need to work on their client service..."

"A great little Thai restaurant with inexpensive tasty dishes and extremely efficient staff. During our visit the place was packed but everything ran very smoothly."
James, Wokingham, UK. May 27, 2009
"The green Thai curry with coconut rice is lovely, Their house wine starts at £12.95 with a large choice.
We ordered from the menu and found it cheaper than having the set. Staff are lovely...."

"I am Thai, all the dish so good and very tasty…i recommend number 36 crispy beef with chillies yummy!"
Je Oli, Wokingham, UK. December 29, 2008
"Nice little restaurant and extremely friendly staff. However the food was rubbish when we went on 10th December 2008. Every dish was way too salty. Noodles were soggy. The jasmine rice was overcooked so that it went to mush and released water in your mouth. Avoid."
MaccaTheMacc, Wokingham, UK. December 11, 2008
"Great food really freshly cooked, very friendly service, good real ale and beer."
Joe, Wokingham, UK. September 10, 2008
"Really good food, freshly cooked and full of flavour. The restaurant would benefit from offering a set menu for less than £15 a head. £19 a head is a bit steep."
Vix, Wokingham, UK. July 16, 2008
"Great food, friendly staff. I'd thoroughly recommend it."
