IT IS the weekend and that calls for one thing - a takeaway!
There’s nothing quite like an aromatic, fresh and fragrant Thai meal and in this summer heat it might just be the perfect takeaway.
From your typical green gurry to nasi goreng and pad-thai you can be as experimental or as safe as your taste buds please.

“My friends had the sharing platter to start which looked amazing and they said it was delicious.
Spring rolls.

“Me and my boyfriend were running very late after a day out in Bournemouth and called the restaurant to ask when the kitchen was closing, they said 30 mins but accepted us anyway.
“We got there and were warmly welcomed, we were not rushed at all despite how late it was.
“We ordered crispy squid and tempura prawns, which were cooked perfectly. Then we ordered a red Thai curry and green thai curry, both hot and boy was it hot!
“It is rare to find a place that actually serves spicy food when you ask, the curry portion was very large and it was ALL delicious.
“Even their toilet/ washroom was very well decorated and I appreciated the little details.
“The service was exceptional, the ladies serving us were so genuinely lovely and helpful. I wish I lived in Bournemouth so I could go again!”

Thai Pantry Cafe

Never had Crepe cake before and it was delicious, but I didn’t need such a big slice. Would recommend it, especially if you’re vegetarian or vegan!
