Speedboat Bar, a triumphant cacophony.
Tables filled edge to edge, silver tops catching flashes from the TV screens, cold beers landing fast, and plates stacking up quicker than there’s room for them.
Crispy pork, sour salads, seafood sizzlers, noodles, whisky sodas - the kind of table you’ll find spilling out onto Yaowarat Road long after dark.
Pool in the upstairs clubhouse, Thai hyperpop and rock on the speakers. Our Speedboat Bar runs at top knot, every night.

Stir-Fried Seabass with Chinese Celery.
A technical preparation, whereby the fillets are removed and stir-fried with pockets of Chinese celery, garlic, and chilli, the sauce caramelising over high heat to a perfectly sticky emulsion.
The remaining fish frame is then deep-fried until crisp, with the tender cheeks and crispy tail yielding high reward for those in the know.
Fresh, savoury, fragrant, and crying out for a cold Singha.
Available at Speedboat Soho only until Sunday 31st May.

Notting Hill at full speed.
Details from a night at 191 Portobello - whisky sodas pouring cold, shuffleboard firing in the corner, and plates of crispy pork and prawn ceviche charging through the room.
A little of Yaowarat Road landing in West London. Pull up for a cocktail or two, stay for something stronger, and a table full of food.

Pad Grapao Neua.
This winter we have been able to use our superior Devon Red beef from Ryewater Nursery for this dish. The herd is grass fed on 100 acres of wildflower meadows as well as browsing in the old clay pits and orchard. It's a delight to share this superior beef with our guests, from the same place as the chilies and holy basil from the greenhouses.
Resulting in a awesome combination of flavours which go great for smooshing our famous crispy fried comet egg on top.

Oysters with Chilli Jam and Seafood Sauce.
An exclusive dish from our Celebration Set, this meticulously seasoned dish treats shucked oysters to the smoky Nam Prik Pao—a chilli jam, and a zingy green seafood sauce topped with crispy shallots. Adding to the explosion of flavours is the 'kratin' leaf frond, sourced exclusively from Ryewater Nursery. It transforms the briny saltiness of the oysters into a sweet delight, capturing the lively spirit of Thai hawker centres and beach roads of Thailand.

Experience the enchanting world of the Thai Vegetarian Festival, known as "Tesagan Gin Je," in the heart of Bangkok at Speedboat Bar.
Every year, Bangkok springs to life with the vibrant tapestry of the Thai Vegetarian Festival. This spiritual and cultural celebration is a profound experience, especially for those of Chinese descent. Rooted in the beliefs of Taoism and Buddhism, it is a time for devout followers to cleanse their spirits and bodies.
Throughout this festival, participants abstain from consuming meat and animal products while partaking in rituals that purify both mind and soul. These include mesmerising acts like body piercing, fire walking, and using mediums to connect with the spirit world.
At Speedboat Bar, we are excited to join the celebrations this week and will be highlighting some out of vegetarian Thai – Chinese dishes such as Pickled Mustard & Snow Ear Mushroom and Purple Aubergine with Chilli & Thai Basil.

Number 23: the 7-11 Pineapple Pie with Taro Ice Cream.
Inspired by the pies wrapped in cellophane that line the shelves at 7-11 stores in Thailand, we adore these tasty late-night treats enjoyed under the bright strip lights. The flaky pastry contains a molten pineapple and tamarind filling, and the taro ice cream that crowns it is crafted by Khun Supaporn of Angie's Ice Cream.

Introducing the 'Phed Pokati' Margarita. Crafted with Green Mango Tequila, Makrut Lime Leaf, Green Chilli, and a touch of Mango salt.
The name 'Phed Pokati' originates from Thai, where it translates to a fervent plea for the dish to be prepared 'spicy as normal.' In alignment with this spirited tradition, our house margarita consistently lives up to its spicy reputation.
