Kicking off the World Cup at Speedboat Soho! 🍻
A big thank you to everyone who joined us for England V Croatia last week - beer towers landed thick and fast, plates sprawled over tables, and England put in 98 solid minutes in between.
If you’re a fan of crispy pork, cold Singhas, from kick-off to full-time, then we’ll be doing it all again tonight. And again on Saturday!
Don’t miss out on the last few tables - book now via the link in our bio.

Wide Rice Noodles with Beef & Soy Sauce.
Lo’s thick rice noodles are delivered fresh each day from Lo’s in Chinatown, where generations of the same family have been making noodles for the area’s restaurants. It’s a Chinatown institution and something we are honoured to support.
Wok-charred, then stir-fried with skirt steak, Chinese broccoli and egg. They’re finished with a rich blend of soy, oyster, and fish sauce.
Make sure to add spoonful of chilli flakes, a splash of chilies in vinegar, or a pinch of sugar from the tabletop condiment caddy and make it your own.

Fried Rice with Pork Mince & Salted Chinese Black Olives.
Speedboat Bar is most easily described as ‘Thai-Chinese’, but to those in the know, it’s really a khao tom restaurant - where dishes full of contrast meet a gentle, aromatic rice porridge.
This dish would be one of the first things you’d order in such an establishment. It’s all about the nam liap, salted Chinese black olives - beloved for their deep savoury finish.
Fried rice is tossed through with pork mince, garlic, and the chopped ‘olives’, the richness lifted by bursts of sharp, slightly sour salinity throughout. It’s something comforting, as requested by our Thai guests, especially late at night.
Available as a Soho special from Monday 15th June until Sunday 12th July.

EXPLODING TOFU 💥
One of the lesser-known dishes on the menu, we’ve been eating for years at Charm in Phuket.
Phuket’s food culture is deeply shaped by its Chinese heritage, with generations of migration bringing together Southern Thai ingredients and Chinese cooking techniques.
A vegan version of Charm’s ‘exploding eggs’, silken tofu is layered with taro, chayote, shimeji mushrooms, fresh green peppercorns, makrut lime leaves, and chilli.
It carrys a pulsating heat through these simple ingredients

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.
