House of Siam in South Lakeland

Absolutely awful. Had to send my main course back because it was tasteless and cold. To add insult to injury, I had to wait 45 minutes for the main course. They can’t cope with customers, awful service, awful food….and expensive ! Don’t bother !!!!

Been to Siam a few times now and we have enjoyed each time . Really friendly and accommodating staff , beautiful decor too, Had the duck tamarind and massaman curry , nice wine but could do with being a bit colder.

Overpriced and not worth a visit. Duck starter looked like it had come from Asda and £13 a total rip off. Mains again were overpriced and bland.....eaten here before and it was much better, something has gone very wrong will not be going back. Plenty of better competition locally.

Food was tasteless and warm. We were rushed out, a waitress asked if we wanted the bill and it was already in her hands to give us. We could see that they had customers who had booked tables but there was no space as they were allowing so many walk ins. Such a shame as the reviews looks good but the beef was chewy and no taste to the sauces.

Bought a takeaway meal which was derived in a timely manner. Service was friendly and good. The food was superb. Next time we will sit in !

Really really tasty meal. Would def recommend to others. Almost full restaurant when we were there. And had mango and sticky rice for pudding on their menu (which was beautiful!).

We rang up to order a takeaway recently. We ordered five dishes. 2 starters and 3 mains. We were told the total came to £80+?!? I then said we’d them back. After doing my maths it came to £65. Not to be trusted. Might be £15 to cut a fancy carrot.

Family food for mixed requirements/diets. Staff very friendly and helpful assisting in picking out certain dishes and which ones to have if we wanted it spicier. Would go again

This place isnt geared for the customer its geared purely for high resteraunt profit which is fine but its not sustainable ..starter platter at 24 quid is nothing more than 7 quids worth of deep fried food surrounded buy their signature fancy cut veg which nobody eats or wants! Onto the main courses which contains a huge sauce and fancy cut veg but very little meat at a cost of 13 -17 quid ... in my opinion theres other thai places near by who want to split the wealth unlike this place who are milking the tourist knowing they probably wont be back so f..em!

Walked in on New Years Day without a booking. The Restaurant was very busy but the staff were amazing and found a space for us. Wow the place was so busy and you could tell why - the food was fantastic. Really good food that took us back to when we visited Thailand - so authentic. Would highly recommend (though I would book next time). I also though it was very reasonably priced.

Had a fantastic meal 30/12/23 I don't eat much Thai due to lemongrass but I asked for a spicy dish without lemongrass and it was amazing and so hot 🌶️🥵 staff was great and place was busy.. Thanks for a great meal

My mother and I could not be bothered cooking, and I’m so glad we didn’t. I have walked past this restaurant more times than I’ve had hot dinners and I’m disappointed at myself it’s taken me 25 years to visit. The menu is very expensive, but the portion sizes are huge and the food is delicious, so worth it!!

We had the non vegetarian set menue and it really was fantastic. Great selection and the flavours immense.I thought it was great vale for money . It was freezing cold outside but lovely and warm inside . The staff were excellent and attentive . Very pleasant all round 👌

Couldn't fault our visit here tonight. The food was excellent. The staff were friendly and efficient. The service was attentive but never overbearing. We will most definitely return. Restaurant and facilities spotlessly clean.

Although the restaurant had a room downstairs and a room upstairs, it only seemed as if the upstairs room was open when we visited, which might be a problem if have a pram - not sure if there is a lift? Unfortunately our baby was kicking off big time for most of our time in this restaurant and we were unable to soothe her, so my husband and I took turns walking up and down the street outside while the other ate :-S I loved my delicious Siamesy cocktail :-) but unfortunately I was unable to eat the thai mushroom soup starter, which I love, as forgot to check if it was made with fish oil, which is the traditional way, as was so flustered with an overtired baby. All in all a very expensive meal, for one that we were unable to enjoy, but that wasn't the restaurants fault. We paid £62.80 for 1 soup, 2 main meals, 1 soft drink and 1 cocktail, including tip. Our main courses were tasty, however 1 of the meals we ordered did not say cashew nuts on the menu, yet when it arrived it did contain nuts. Luckily my husband sampled this first as that would have been the icing on the cake for my birthday meal out :-( Staff were lovely and helpful and the restaurant was clean, tidy and nicely decorated. Hopefully we'll get an opportunity to return some day and enjoy a meal (without the kiddies!) and sample some more of their speciality cocktails

Disappointed with food was expensive for what we got, the beef was very chewy and tough, and the sauces were so runny it was like gravy. Poor quality in our opinion

Called in for lunch today, great service and lovely staff however, not been for a while and portions seemed a lot smaller and way too expensive. Two main courses and two drinks £60.00. Good but wouldn't rush back.

My Wife and I ordered from here as a takeaway. We wanted to see what it was like, however having tasted the food we now know. We were both extremely disappointed with our meal. It was expensive for what it was, and didn’t taste of anything really. They even left bits of our order off. The food was watery and bland, my wife said it tasted like a Sharwoods packet mix. The spicy chips were unseasoned and the spice consisted of a few bits of chopped up chilli, and were dry. It was so uninspiring that my wife cannot remember what she had 20 minutes after eating it!. We have given 2 stars rather than one as the staff were friendly and we didn’t complain to the restaurant directly. Overall we wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

I really like Siam - and as a local it’s the Thai we’d recommend to our friends when visiting. I’ve found that some things can be hit and miss though. For example I had the pork dumplings to start and they were amazing - but my partner had spring rolls and said he suspected they’d been microwaved as the texture wasn’t quite right. The mains we all beautiful, though pretty pricey - you’d expect for those prices that the dishes would come with rice etc but you have to order that separately. Another thing that bugs me in there is the lack of ice - I ordered a gin and tonic and it had 3 small ice cubes in it. Which isn’t really enough - drinking room temperature spirits wasn’t for me. However I do like their beer selection. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, but we did have to ask for more drinks as empty glasses were just sitting on the table for quite a while. I would recommend this place though - the food has always been lovely for me!

Avoid if you have any dietary needs such as being vegan We had booked and asked to be outside as it was a hot day. My husband and I are both vegan. I am allergic to milk. The waitresses were lovely and very helpful to show us what we could have / adapt. I took their advhme and ordered a pad Thai with tofu and no egg. When my pad Thai came it had egg in. I realised after eating a lump of it. They apologies and toon it away. 10 mins later it came out again. This time it had chicken in it…. In the end I gave up as my husband had finished and our baby was getting irritable as we had been waiting in the heat for a long time. I went to slice in my way back to the apartment, it was great. They took my food off the bill but it ruined the meal and it had been booked for my husbands birthday, so really disappointed. My husband has waited for my meal to come back so his was cold and we paid for drinks… for almost £50 for a bad experience. Also the toilets were very grubby It’s a shame as it could be really nice - but I would avoid at all costs now.

Thought we would give this restaurant a try and found the food to be reasonable. We would have enjoyed the experience more if it wasn't for two things they impose on their customers. My partner noticed a small notice on the table that stated you...

The restaurant we had booked didn't look as we expected, we passed this one on the way and thought we would try it. Staff were very pleasant and food was tasty. They had seating outside too. The background music was the local radio station! not...

Food was delicious and staff friendly, not too much just enough and not too spicy although we do like spicey food, think toned down on the spice

Fast service from the staff but the food was a real let down. Good menu to chose from. Started with satay chicken which was a little tough but tasty. We had 2 different main meals but both tasted the same with an overpowering amount of...

Would thoroughly recommend eating here. Such Friendly and courteous staff, matched by an exquisite meal and fantastic service. Would definitely visit again.

I like it because the service has s very quick the food is delicious and is very healthy at the same time the people are very nice and friendly and it has pictures of tie land and there are gorillas that are toys that hang...

Had a fantastic meal here tonight. No pictures but had set menu meal a for 2 people. Brilliant. So fresh and flavourful. Highly recommend. We had 2 magners and one bottle of peroni. Bill total £80.65. Both of us stuffed. Menu is on website but...

Being from Windermere you don’t tend to eat out as much as you should due to it being busy. But on this occasion we deceived to treat ourselves to a Thai takeaway. My worst decision of the night was picking the house of Siam. So...

Ungewöhnliches Ambiente, wie in einer "Strandhütte". Wir hatten Glück, dass wir am Wochenende mittags noch für denselben Abend reservieren konnten,...

The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The service was very good and the food was amazing. Would highly recommend.

We always enjoy coming to Siam .Big surprise this time as they have opened a sister restaurant, “coconut” next door. comfy seating among coconut trees , More importantly the Thai food is delicious and such friendly staff,

Back again ! We come to Siam and always have lovely tasty food, staff are friendly and helpful, They have recently opened a new one a couple of doors up, the coconut which looks amazing, Will be trying that one next .

Nice people but very expensive for what the food was, expensive cutlery the food was served in probably why it's so expensive

Visited Siam earlier this week when in Bowness for a short stay. We did not make a reservation but they were very accommodations and made a real fuss over our dog. We’ve dined here a few times over the years, food and service is consistently...

A warm invite greeted us on our visit, it also being brolly friendly, conveniently having a brolly holder by the door - very useful for the lakes! The grilled Cumbrian sausage is amazing - particularly when complimented by the green curry sauce. The Pad Udon...

Went as a couple. Fastest meal we've ever had. Service was too good, it's nice to enjoy the restaurant you're in but it felt like they were being so efficient to get more customer in and get us out. We felt like we needed to...

Lovely night at Siam cafe tonight. Service was brilliant and the staff were all friendly and helpful. We had the mixed started, tamarind duck and lamb shank massaman curry along with egg fried rice! Everything about the food was just gorgeous! Would definitely recommend!

Small friendly restaurant with great Thai food, though I had to smile at the Cumbrian Sausage Thai style? Great to see half the customers were Thai or Chinese. Also has a small street eating area for our glorious summer days.

Dreadful. 2 tables allocated - said in garden but was on the Main Street - one table had order taken & drinks served before we had been given menus. Think must be microwaved as it arrived immediately after order placed. Staff were very unfriendly. One...

We found the service very rushed (food brought out less than 5 mins after ordering. ) We ordered the vegetarian set menu (£25 pp), which was plentiful but rather bland and uninspiring, same veg in each dish. Have dined at many Thai restaurants before, this...

We are lovers of thai food so decided we would eat here one of the nights of our holiday - it seemed busy so we gave it a try. We ordered the set menu and when the starters came I immediately knew it wasnt going...

Whilst the restaurant was lovely and the staff incredibly friendly and welcoming we found the food disappointing. Chicken satay starter was chewy, pale ans tasted like it was precooked and just reheated. Chicken wings tasted like there were from a packet with more batter than...

I’m not vegetarian, but my partner is and we opted for the set meal option. It was excellent in every way. Little bit pricey, but not overly so. Fabulous surroundings and just the loveliest staff made for a really enjoyable experience

Food and service were fab. Nicest Thai we’ve had in ages and they fitted us in at short notice on a busy bank holiday weekend

Not as good as it used to be. Iv visited bowness several times over the years and always loved this place . Service is impeccable and full to the rafters . However , the prices are extortionate now and the portion sizes so small ....

I discovered this little gem while taking a stroll around the area and loved the cosy feel and pretty decor! The staff were extremely polite and helpful, no need to ask for water refills, it just happens! I ordered the delicious vegetable tempura starters followed...

Terrible we booked a table for 3 for 6.30pm. We arrived was told there was no table free. Had to wait 40 minutes to be seated. We were packed in like sardines. No room between tables and the staff kept banging into the chairs of...

Siam Palace was busy for a Tuesday night and it’s easy to see why. The serving staff were attentive, welcoming and prompt and the decor creates a lovely ambience. The food was absolutely exquisite, with an abundance of options for vegetarians and meat-eaters. Service from...

Great food, served very quick and presented very nice. We had starters and mains and both served very nice, perhaps a little too spicy but we should have asked for it to be a little less.

Service was average but food was lovely. Food comes out very quick which was odd , we had starters & main and was out in an hour. Way too many tables and put too close together, very cramped & staff didn’t have enough room to...

Food was good but 10% service charge per person was absolutely ridiculous. Refused to pay won’t be returning

We have been here previously before COVID and it was always very good. Not so sadly now, food portion for main course pretty rubbish consisted of prawns on a bed of onions, £21 and my dish was also disappointing very small portion and at the...

Tricked in to another visit!! I knew we shouldn’t have visited again. These con artists thrive off being in a very busy area where people are unaware of food quality and service quality. The establishment isn’t bothered if you never go back as the lakes...

Really friendly waiting staff and the food arrived quickly and was fresh and haste. Deliciously tasty. The decor of the restaurant itself is really bright and fun, absolutely gutted we found this on holiday and not closer to home.

We ate here on Saturday evening. This is a beautiful restaurant. Food was OK, service was OK. We don't pay tips so when the bill came with the automatically added 10% (we had not seen this would be added on the menu) we removed it...

Ordered a takeaway here and when collecting the staff were really pleasant. The menu looked good but had mixed reviews. Some recent reviews mentioned the portion size and price and wish I'd listened. We ordered a sharing platter which was £20 and literally had 2...

We visited here on the 28th of February 2023. We had a table booked at 7pm, we arrived and the staff were pleasant and saw us to our table. They took our drinks order and asked if we wanted prawn crackers and we said yes,...

We visited with a large family group of 7. Noted the maximum 90 minute limit. The food was quite good on the Red and Green curries. The Tom yum soup was average. The service was fairly good. What irked me was that an additional item...

Firstly I would like to say that I am not linked or know anyone from the Jintana Thai Restaurant and will never visit this establishment however I do own a Thai Restaurant in the Midlands so in no way I am making this review with...

Me and the wife visited here on the afternoon of 27.11.22 for lunch We was greated by two wonderful female staff wich gave us a good window seat plenty of light We ordered a starter to share and two main meals. Both meals were absolutely...

Visited this establishment as we had made a booking for 9, we arrived and the staff could not have been more accommodating, everything was Bon trouble and when our food was served it looked and tasted fantastic Well done we will be back 👍

Very welcoming staff and nice food. We were ver impressed with the service in particular. However, the space seemed a bit congested and the dessert could be a bit better without using preservative liquid from canned lychees while making sundae.

Wonderful food. I had starters, a main and dessert. The spring rolls and prawn toast were as you'd expect, so delicious. My main of black bean stir fry was tasty. The highlight for me was the banoffe cheesecake which came with all the trimmings! Well...

We are from Thailand and would rate 5/5 score for this restuarant. We had lunch and dinner here for several times while we spent our holidays in Windermere. All food are excellent . The food taste like we have in Thailand. I love grilled meat...

Had a meal starter said tempura it had thick batter couldn't eat it. Forgot my gun and tonic even when there were four waiter staff stood.. The tables are sqeezed together, no chance if you are a bigger size.. The bill came, no mention of...

Got a takeaway from here last night and it was generally poor. At £33 for 2 meals the price is up there which is fine if the food is up to standard. Firstly the prawn crackers were missing from the order. I ordered two different...

Food was okay. Good veg options. We ordered a Panaeng curry, jasmine and coconut rice and a stir fry broccoli. The curries were average. Had much better Thai food in the UK. We also had an unpleasant experience. We ordered the curry without mushrooms categorically....

Me and my boyfriend went here for tea and it was absolutely beautiful. The food that we had was amazing. The staff were so friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back here.

My husband and I visited here today as we are both big fans of Thai food. The food was very tasty and definitely reflective of the local cuisine we enjoyed when we honeymooned in Thailand. However the tables were crammed in REALLY close together and...

Lovely restaurant with a good atmosphere. Delicious food and great service, enjoyed by both us and the kids. Would definitely recommend

Absolutely love this restaurant cannot fault it at all Everytime we visit the lakes we have to go there and have even driven from manchester just to eat here and come back home afterwards honestly it’s soooo worth the drive. Service is second to none...

After debating which Thai place to eat at we decided on Siam and definitely glad we did. The food came out quick and was piping hot. We had the sharing platter to start which was delicious, and the Pad Thai was one of the best...

Had some bad meals in my life but this was an awful experience. My girlfriend and myself were rushed in the door and shoved into the a tight table in the middle of the restraunt. Straight away we weren’t comfortable at all. Ordered our meal...

Had booked a table for two. Servers were pleasant enough even if they didn’t listen. Asked for some water in addition to drinks which never arrived. Atmosphere was good. Restaurant was busy. Mixed starter was ok even if it was mostly deep fried. Main course...

Didn’t realise this was a chain until we got menu and recognised it . Food was as expected . The very best polite and helpful member of staff we have ever had . Very uncomfortable and awkward seating could be very off putting.

Delicious authentic Thai with attentive, friendly service. Great atmosphere, lively pints of Singha and fantastic staters and mains. Would highly recommend

Lovely food great service with plenty of choice on menu. Nice atmosphere only gave 4 star because found it a bit expensive.

This place has extremely attractive decor and atmosphere. It has a large menu with plenty of choice, including vegetarian. And the service was friendly and attentive. However our food was not good. I will give the Mains as an example. My wife had Thai Red...

Such a nice setting; very authentic. The food was served so quickly which I quite like, and it tasted delicious also. The pad thai was top quality, can’t complain. There was many gluten free options and the servers were very helpful. Would come back here...

Don’t be fooled by this restaurant being busy. Asked about gluten free when booking and was told they had several dishes. However when it came to ordering I was offered four dishes all of which were vegetarian. I question this with another waitress and she...

The whole experience is very rushed. We were in the restaurant only 45 minutes before we were asked to move tables to make room for other customers. We apparently had the table for 1 hour 30 mins but no chance here, absolutely no chance. Which...

Lovely staff, atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. Lots of variety to choose from. Flavours and taste of food was amazing. Would definitely recy

Recommended by a couple of friends who'd dined here. The Thai ambience is clear to see in the decor, the buzzing waiting team and the experience. But somehow it didn't resinate with us as a good experience to remember. Service was a bit of a...

What a fantastic authentic Thai restaurant. We didn’t book but did get a table in 10-15 mins. Staff were very good and great customer service. The food was outstanding! Best food we had in Bowness on Windermere. Highly recommend a visit.

We visited this restaurant last year and really enjoyed it so decided to go again we asked for a table they didn’t have one but asked a young couple if they minded moving as we had a big dog and the Young couple were fine...

We had an amazing meal here. Lovely staff who were really attentive. The restaurant is decorated really nicely and is very welcoming. I had Pad Thai with king prawns and my husband had duck with pepper and garlic sauce. Couldn't fault anything.

Amazing food and service. The food was the best Thai that we have had. Wish we lived locally so that we could go regularly.

My wife and I were recommended this restaurant. One recent review slaughtered the service and food. All I can say is you must be a competitor. I am from Nr Brighton Sussex spoilt for choice in respect of great Thai restaurants. This was fabulous menu...

This place is something special. Hidden away under its own front canopy and greenery lies Siam Cafe which is and has always been the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to. My girlfriend and I have travelled around the U.K. and always made sure to...

During our stay in Bowness, we walked past this restaurant a couple of times during the evening and it always seemed to be busy and occasionally had a queue outside so we thought that it might be worth a visit, despite getting the impression that...

Fantastic food, really tasty. My partner said it was the best meal he's had in a very long time, so high praise indeed. Would recommend the Chicken PaNeang curry.Great service, reasonably priced. Tables are quite close together so it was a bit of a squeeze...

Great food, really friendly service, excellent atmosphere on a Friday night. A "sure thing" for anyone looking to eat in Bowness.

I can’t emphasise enough how much I enjoyed the main meals we had this evening (the rest of my family also enjoyed them!) We had a mixed platter for a starter which was nice but the dishes we shared for our main were amazing! We...

Good ambience, Staff are very helpful and attentive, Crammed spaces, Value for money probably! Food was just about ok. Portions generally good. Tried the tempura veg and Squid.. both not to our liking.. too greasy. The shredded duck was very dry and felt a bit...

Excellent restaurant. Food was fresh vibrant and plenty to choose from the menu. The decor of the restaurant is lovely too. Service was amazing for such a busy restaurant and staff were friendly. Highly recommend.

Had dinner here whilst staying in Bowness and reading the reviews. Restaurant very busy as it was Saturday night, My chair was in a walkway and despit moving it I was constantly bumped by the waiting staff. I was also in direct line of the...

Me and my wife was looking forward to eating here. However we was disappointed with the food. Very bland and not much taste. It arrived with in 3 mins of ordering. So I suspect it was pre made and warmed up.

Superb staff, delicious food in a lovely setting with great decoration. Really enjoyed our meal here and will definitely be back on future visits.

Siam was recommended by our hotel. Food was excellent, served nice and hot, and staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Invited in by door staff, who enticed us with their varied menu & gluten-free options. My wife & I had different Thai curries, which were cooked to perfection & ever so tasty. But the best was yet to come: banana fritters in a syrupy sauce...
