Bangkok Canteen Gloucester

You'll find Bangkok Canteen tucked away on Westgate Street, where it's been quietly doing brilliant things with Thai food for years. The place has that comfortable, unpretentious feel—no faffing about with minimalist décor or trying too hard. What matters is what comes out of the kitchen: curries that actually taste like they should, pad thai that doesn't taste like sweet noodles, and staff who actually know their menu inside out. It's the sort of spot you'd take a mate for proper food and leave genuinely satisfied without spending a fortune.
