Home of one of the great world cuisines, cooked to authentic recipes and served by nationals dressed in traditional costumes. Where could that possibly be? Why, Chipping Sodbury, of course. Founded in 1985, Siam Thai sits 65 people on two floors, each decorated in authentic Thai fashion, and has subsequently spawned the 70-seater Siam Harbourside in the heart of Bristol's rejuvenated dock area. There are several substantial set price menus, including a Lunchtime Special and an “All You Can Eat” option, to complement the extensive a la carte list, and all the dishes are “thrown together” in the traditional style. Mother and daughter restaurants are owned and run by Mrs Telfer who, as you would expect with a name like that, is also Thai.
