Where to eat Thai food in Cheltenham: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Discover Restaurants offering the best Thai food in Cheltenham, England, United Kingdom. Cheltenham was just your average, sleepy town until the discovery of a spring in 1716, after which it became Britain's most popular spa town. (Like Palm Springs without the casinos.) Local Cheltonians have a reputation for being wealthy and respectable, and a walk along the Promenade will give you a first-class view of their wonderful houses, shops and gardens. After taking in the waters at the Pittville Pump Room (great name for a spa), check out the Art Gallery and Museum to learn about the social history of Cheltenham.

Whenever I visit a Thai restaurant after having visited the country several times I do so with some trepidation.No such fears here a superb menu of genuine Thai meals, both fragrant and spicy but never overdoing the spice.All cooked lovingly with no long wait and served by a happy crowd of waiters and waitresses.A true delight, found by accident Cheltenham is notorious for difficulty to park, found a space , glanced across saw the Giggling Squid and had no seond thoughts went in on a busy Wednesday night, the place was buzzing .Thank you Brian.

We happened upon this place while staying nearby recently. From the outside it looks like a very traditional corner pub - more homely than fine dining but the menu tempted us inside. Fortunately we were fairly early so were able to get a table without booking though it soon filled up. The food was cooked to order, tasty and reasonably priced, service prompt and friendly. Would happily return.

First visit. A Wednesday night at 7.45. Absolutely packed. A fairly brusque welcome but they were clearly busy. Spare rib and spring rolls starters were both very good indeed as we're the green curry and massaman. Generous portions and full of flavour. We were served by no less than four different staff members on the night and the food took a while. The staff were friendly but clearly extremely rushed.

I agree totally with the previous reviewer. We have been to the restaurant several times before and have always had friendly service and found it to have a pleasant ambience - in fact we've recommended it to Gold Cup guests in the past. but this evening it was like an entirely different place. The waitress was unfriendly, surly, ungracious and made us feel very unwelcome - not a smile in sight. We felt she couldn't wait to rush us through our meal, give us the bill and get us to leave. And not a word of farewell when we went. When will restaurateurs realise that we pay a lot of money to eat out, and it isn't just about being fed, it's about having an enjoyable evening too - and it is the service that makes the difference. Either they have changed their staff or they save the best for the weekends (we went on a Thursday evening and it was pretty quiet....only 3 tables in total). Please take note of this, Siam Smile, or you will find your loyal following will diminish quickly in a town this size once the word gets around. No restaurant can afford to become complacent - there are lots of others springing up around you, including a newish Thai restaurant in Montpellier. The food was fine, but as I say it's just as much about the ambience as the food. I don't think we'll be going back.

This was only my second visit since this fantastic restaurant opened. Our party of five had 4 different starters and 5 different main courses. Each and every one was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed. Friendly and attentive but unobtrusive staff and the food excellent value for money. With a complementary birthday cake thrown in, this catch up with family and friends turned into a lovely impromptu early birthday celebration.The only downside? I no longer live locally so cannot visit more often.Dear Graham,We appreciate your time and efforts to state your experiences on Trip Adviser, for the benefit of the others. Truly touched by your words of appreciation and encouragement.Further to your tremendous dining experience, you have made additional efforts to elaborate details of our food and service. We are honoured to have genuine patrons like you who acknowledge our endeavour.Looking forward to another opportunity to serve you again.Best Regards,Team Bangkok Kitchen
