Had a very good takeaway meal here. Panang curry, cashew stir fry and pad Thai all very good, with good portion sizes and include rice. Highly recommend. Wait time was about 15-20 min.

We had take away fish and chips. Beautifully done. Will come back to try the Thai dish next time. Big space for family or large group but no outdoor sitting.
