Husband and wife team John (twice shortlisted YBF ‘Chef of the Year) and Desiree Chantarasak are set to open their first restaurant. Following several highly acclaimed pop-ups and residencies, the duo will now bring AngloThai, their unique take on Thai-British cuisine with a European-focused wine list, to their first bricks-and-mortar venue on Seymour Place in Marylebone. The builidng houses the 50-cover ground-floor dining room with open kitchen with interiors by leading Thai-American designer May Redding, and draws inspiration from Thailand’s contemporary design movement, while evoking the warm and comforting feel of a well-loved home.
AngloThai marries bold, flavour-driven cooking with seasonal ingredients sourced within the British Isles. Chef and co-founder John will serve his interpretation of Thai cuisine, drawing inspiration from both his Thai and British heritage. Expect a menu of small plates such as curried pig's head terrine, raw Dexter Beef with Makhwaen Laab spice & sorrel and mussels in pork fat jungle curry. The food will be complemented by a list of low-intervention, natural wines.
Brixham Crab with Exmoor caviar and coconut ash crackers, Ryall Farm hogget massaman with black fig, and monkfish jungle curry with holy basil and to finish carrot & sea buckthorn parfait.
