Purton Thai in Wiltshire

What a little gem this is! I travel to Frome from London frequently, but lately, my hubby has been picking me up at Westbury station and we pop in for a meal at the Thai Orchid, instead of savouring the delights of Frome restaurants! The food is tasty and authentically Thai and service friendly and efficient. Can't wait for my next trip to Westbury.

We fancied a good Thai meal after golf at Castle Combe. We walked into an empty restaurant on a Wednesday evening around 7 pm and were welcomed by the staff. Obviously it felt strange to be in an empty restaurant but 4 other couples came in before we left. We chose the two course menu at £25.95 each and it was very pleasant without being exceptional. Was it value for money. We would say average. Have we had better for the same price. Definitely yes. So all in all it was quite edible but not great value for money and it lacked atmosphere. Will we return. Unfortunately not.

A lovely place, great service, and fantastic food... the jungle curry was absolutely outstanding

I got Sweet and Sour Beef as take away and paid £41 pounds for just rice and one dish. It was very poor quality with massive chunks of uncooked beef, tasteless and horrible (wasn’t like Thai Food at all) and very expensive. I had stopped buying take away from them before and will not but it from them again.

Great value if you are going for a set menu. Lots of food with great flavours. Also, spicy options are very very 🔥 🥵!
