If you've tried The Thai Kitchen before either at Trent Lock or The Lady in Grey then you'll be pleased to know that we are now running a take-away in Long Eaton. Still setting the standard for authentic Thai food in the UK you can now enjoy Gung's cooking in the comfort of your own home. It is advisable to order well in advance for Fridays and Saturdays as waiting times can be excessive and we d

Just posting to let you know that during March and April we will be closing for an extra day, Wednesday, in addition to Monday & Tuesday. We will review this at the end of April as to whether we make this a permanent change. We will also be closed Sunday 29th March and Sunday 5th April (Easter).
So, a reminder that we are usually open Thursday- Sunday 6pm - 9pm. We welcome text orders in advance and outside of opening hours. TBH texts are always welcome and our preferred way of communication. Ideally, if you are ordering on the night, texting your order and giving us an idea of time allows us to slot you into gaps when it’s not possible to just promise a time because we’re busy and sometimes your orders take 30 minutes to prep never mind cook! We always prioritise customers who order in advance. Thanks as always for your custom, Gung

Dear lovely customers this year of our Thailand trip has been very fun and special. Starting with my first time university reunion in Sukhothai old Thailand capital after 40 years I have graduated. Then another reunion with the Technical College friends in Kao Yai first time again after nearly fifty years.

This year we used our family house in Ayutthaya which is not far from Bangkok as a base to go north and south. Then we flew down to Phuket and Krabi. We found Phuket is over cluster too many motorcycles riding with no rules on the road. In my plan Phuket suppose to be the best place for food of this trip, but the recommended restaurant we went to only gave me disappointment.

Then we stayed at Aow Maung 5 km outside Aow Nang, again 500 meters of beach and shop front avenue in Aow Nang was too busy, I’m not sure how good the water treatment systems from hundreds of hotels they are before they drain those water down to the sea. I actually smell the sewage when we walk in Aow Nang beach front. This place used to be my best seaside when our kids were young.
But from this year we are not going to come back here for a long time.
Then we have a week left and we went to Ko Samet on the east coast of Thailand we found here was the most relaxing place good beach front hotel, not too many people no cars on the road only local small buses. Only down is Samet food is very expensive but not good.
We found January is the best time to go to Thailand not too hot actually too cold in the north. So we are going to go to Thailand again in January’27.

New added menu

Sorry for the delay to add new items to my menu but here you are!

I plan to add about 8 to 10 dishes to our menu but have to put on gradually to make sure I can cope with cooking them and please strictly order before noon of the day.

I published this article without any proof from my wife or my daughter so please excuse my Thinglish.

Many of these are my own family recipes:

S1 Chicken wings in red wine sauce [£5.50] This is a starter.
Please note:
Number 39 in the old menu has changed to Pad See Eiew

New dishes:
N1 Geang-Paa (Jungle curry)
Coconut milk is one of the ingredient that used to be luxury and not widely available before the pasteurised coconut milk in can arrived. Coconut milk also won’t stay for long in Thailand hot weather. So most of villagers who live far from the market can’t use coconut milk in their cooking unless they have their own coconut tree in their backyard. Hence named Jungle Curry.
In my view the Jungle curry best with chicken but we also have beef and pork for you to try. [Chicken £10.50]
[pork £10.50]
[Beef £11.50]

N2 Pad Pong Garee (Creamy stir-fried yellow curry with celery, spring onion and vermicelli noodles)
[Prawns £13]
[Squid £13]
[Prawns and squid £13]

N3 Pad Namprigpow (Stir-fried sweet Tamarind chilli oil with bell pepper and onions)
[Chicken £10.50]
[Prawns £12.50]
[Squid £12.50]

N4 Pad Ha Smoon-prai
(My mother 5 herbs stir-fried) Galangal, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, chillies and garlic pound into a paste and stir-with chicken [£11]

N5 My Grandma Salad (Yam Khun Yai) Shredded lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, spring onion, coriander, red onions and toasted desiccated coconut mix in with pork and prawns, coconut milk and sweet tamarind chilli oil. [£13]

We can do some of above dishes in vegetarian version, please ask.

This is our current menu running from July 2025.
New dishes will be ready to order on 9th July 2025.

The Thai Kitchen Take Home will be operated the same way as ever, cook by me (63 years young Gung Anurat Praditngam) and my wife Maura at the front. So please bear with us while we carefully construct your meal.

We still do 15 minutes time slots for each order from 6pm to 9pm with 8:30pm for last order.
From Wednesday to Sunday we close on Monday and Tuesday.

***Please try not to walk in and order, but you can text us any time for your enquiry or to send your order and we are encouraging you to use the text rather than phone us.

So your text with your order will be recorded and will be responded as soon as we can.

Hope you all lovely customers understand that we have to put the price up.
Thank you for liking my cooking and supporting us, some of you know us from,
: The Thai Kitchen at the Steamboat Inn (1995)
: The Thai Kitchen at the Lady in Grey Hotel (1998)
: and this Take Home since 2009.
I will try to put my signature dishes on the menu despite my wife trying to stop me.
Thank you again
Gung & Maura

Dangerous but fun driving in Thailand. If you have a chance to drive in Thailand, one suggestion I can give is just go straight and don’t change the lane because all the time the motorbike will overtake you on both side and very often at the same time

Padthai in Thailand use three ingredients that I don’t hard fresh tofu, dry shrimps and sweet dry mooli and the taste not as strong that because they have sugar and fish sauce to put to your taste. So you might find some Padthai in Thailand a little bland.
