neeeeeeeeeek Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 No more than most of the stuff in Tesco veg dept. Go buy some Lemon Grass from Tesco and tell me it's not expensive. What about Thai Basil, galangal, Kaffir Lime leaves and all the others, not many fields of Galangal in the UK and my Kaffir Lime tree cost me £60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas1 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Well I've been there twice now, and love the place! Well worth the cost IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I don't think £25 a head is a rip off if the food and service is really good. If you want a load of crap food for a tenner then you get yourself down to Jumbo or similar. You pays your money.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theripsaw Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Eating at a prime location in London's going to cost more than £25 3 course meal at Claridges - Just a fiver more than a Thai meal on Eccy Rd. http://www.gordonramsay.com/claridges/menus/setlunch/ Like I said im happy to pay for good food- but that generally means good expensive ingredients. Thai food ingredients is cheap cheap cheap. Even in this country. If you're foolish enough to pay top dollar for some chopped veg and non descript (and undoubtably battery / farmed) meat / fish thats up to you!

verona Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Just wondered if anyone has tried it recently. Patoo it is called. Looking at the website, set meals start at £18.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
