This is a great place for home from home cooking, run by an English couple, David and Debbie. The food has always been good for me, sometimes a breakfast, sometimes a pick from their well thought out menu. Plenty of breakfast items, with a proper full english with toast through Eggs Benedict onto a healthy options Smoked Salmon & Scrambled Eggs on Granary. Almost every option coming with Tea or Coffee. An assortment of Burgers and Ribs and lots of choices from the Mains and House Specials, Hunters Chicken, Bangers & Mash, Haddock & Chips and Beef Stew & Dumplings. Sunday Roasts are a favourite too, Slow Roast Pork, Beef […]

This is a very new and welcome addition to the coffee shops available here. They opened on Valentines Day in 2020. I have been there a few times and the food and service was always spot on. It really is a freshly made and healthy option kind of place! Pleasing and simple decor with a few tables and chairs or comfy sofa seating inside with Aircon or some casual seating outside at the front to watch the world go by. First time here I tried the Croque Monseur with an added Egg and for my second visit I had the Avo Mash, which comes with Salmon and poached eggs on […]

Ok, this one is a bit of fun and the first time I heard about this one I was in a private house and was asked if I wanted a Takeaway from The Peaky Blinders! I knew I would have to do a blog! Even more strange was the next question “Do you want a Reuben Sandwich?” Probably not something you would relate to The Peaky Blinders, so after some discussion, we both ordered a Reuben and it turned out to be really very good, not that I know much about American grub and taking up my total input of Reuben Sandwiches to Two! A few days later, as chance […]

The Robin Hood Tavern, at The Avenue, Second Road, Pattaya, Thailand. This is a great place to pop in or meet up for some Good Grub and a Beer or just a Snack and a Coffee.

This is a French Bakery, where you can buy some great and varied Bread, Pastries etc or just sit down inside or out and treat yourself to a Breakfast or a Variety of Cakes or Pastries and some good coffee. There is a third option which is hard not to take…..eat in first then before you leave, buy stuff to take home! O Delices is in Jomtien in their ” Walking Street”. If you turn right into Jomtien, going from Pattaya, at the traffic lights on Jomtien Second Road, then it is just on the right before you arrive at the left turn along the beach. There is a large […]

A nice place for some nice grub and a coffee or a snack. Aloha is in an area where there is not too much of a choice for a bit of grub and a bit of aircon. Situated on the edges of Khon Kaen and Chaiyaphum districts Chum Phae is here Google Maps link is here. Been there to get my fix of Farang grub many times, and always good food and good staff. Apart from Pizza’s there are a variety of Salads, and then a variety of Pork, Beef, Salmon, Chicken and Fish & Ship! I must admit I have never tried the Fish & Ship but probably ok […]

This is a really nice place to pop in for some posh nosh or a good coffee and a cake. Run by a very nice man called Robert who hails from Scotland and has been doing a good job there for just over three years. I have been here numerous times and it has never failed to hit the spot. They produce Thai, Fusion and International Cuisine. I guess the most visits are for coffee and cake. Always something to tempt increasing my waistline! On my last visit I had a burger and it was really good, and then it turned out to be a record breaking one, as by […]

Canterbury Tales are a long established Bookshop, Cafe and Guesthouse. The back of the desk is crammed with Books including some new ones. They also keep a few there held back at customers requests. Situated at the end of Soi Chaiapoon just metres from Soi Bukhao and very near to LK Metro Complex they are easily accessible for a snack, cuppa or a good book. Of course by default anyone staying here is right where the night life is. There is always someone to chat with in the seats out front, usually including the owner Dave who has been wearing out the seats in front for fifteen years. A very […]

This is a friendly Guest House and Bar. Situated just off Soi Buakhao. Run by the owner, a very friendly chap called Andy and when I met him I found he was someone I had to really look up to! He has been running the Hideaway for almost four years. They are on Soi Buakhao 15 which is the Soi that runs from Soi Buakhao to the back of the Avenue Mall, so it is easy to find. For Google Maps this is the link. They are down the Soi opposite the Nature View Hotel. They do have entertainment on some evenings, such as every Wednesday evening at 8.00 is […]
