Bow's Kitchen

You'll find Bow's tucked right on Market Place, where the old town still feels like somewhere actual people live rather than a postcard. Walk in and there's no pretension—just genuine Thai food cooked by people who know what they're doing. The kitchen doesn't soften things down for British palates; if you order spicy, you get spicy. It's the kind of place where regulars know exactly what they want and the staff remember you, and where you're just as likely to find families on a Saturday night as you are groups of mates. The 4.6 rating isn't a fluke—it's consistent, unpretentious cooking that keeps people coming back.
