Thai Delight @ The Turners Arms in West Berkshire

Very authentic, fresh and tasty Thai food! My partner has traveled extensively in the far east and I am very fond of Asian cuisine so when we relocated to Reading two years ago one target was to find a good Thai. This was the first time we have been to The Turners Arms and we will be back! We started with the mixed starter for two which is an excellent selection of traditional Thai starters, all very tasty and hard to find any fault. The mains were the Duck special and the Pad Kraphaw, also with duck. Both dishes were mild in terms of heat but very flavoursome, from the freshness of the vegetables and distinct flavours in the dish it is obvious these were cooked fresh to order. Great old pub surroundings and we will look forward to visiting again when the fire is lit as that would perfect the cozy pub atmosphere.

Great service and even better food! The Thai dishes are full of flavor and make this spot a must-visit. Generous portions, hot and very fresh. Highly recommended!

The best Thai food I had here in Berkshire. Can’t imagine there’s such a good restaurant in this area. Really lovely.

Were staying nearby and saw this pub serves Thai food, absolutely amazing meal, the food was fresh, delicious and very tasty. One of the best Thai meals we've ever had. Highly recommend!

The food is really tasty and fresh.

Called in for a pint and some food . The food was first class and very tasty all freshly cooked to order. very impressed.

Large country pub near Mortimer. Serving both traditional pub food and Thai food.

Great traditional thai food. Local atmosphere. Bit odd. But don't be put off. Well worth the visit for good Tom kha gai. Recommended

Country pub. Not a buzzing place but nice food, nice beer, calm

Have been here a few times really lovely food very authentic chef and land lord are really nice to.

Food taste is great, very authentic. The chef is Thai.

Great authentic Thai food cooked by the Thai landlady. The landlord can seem stand-offish but he just has a very dry sense of humour and is a lovely guy. Highly recommended!

The food is fresh and always tastes great!

A delicious meal. The mixed starter was generous and the curry one of the best I've had all eaten next to a welcoming open fire. Thank you very much

Cold food turkey looked like supermarket slices not good

Had dinner here recently. The food was excellent, really enjoyed it. Its located in an English pub, The Turners Arms, a little unusual for a Thai restaurant but don't let it put you off it was tasty and good value.

Loved our 2 course lunch for a tenner.

Very nice garden, great service and outstanding thai food!

Great value authentic Thai food can't go wrong.

Excellent food and great service

Take away - food is the best I have tasted out of Asia.

Pad thai, absolutely fabulous, with a little red curry sauce.

The food here is amazing and it's a real hidden gem so it's usually not too busy. There is an English menu but I'd highly recommend you try the Thai food, it's always mouth watering.

Thai lunchtime special is fab Short menu for lunchtime but all the greatest hits are there. The starters are exactly what you need, and the main course is delicious. I always find myself making appreciative noises while eating because it's just so excellent. V.good worth checking out. The evening menu gives more choice and portions are larger but same fabulousness. Or you can take them home but that seems to lose some of the presentation as it's in a box not on a plate... personal choice.

Great traditional pub with excellent thi food restaurant & take away, plus great pub food menu.

Funny atmosphere but the food is brilliant! One of the best Thai meals we have had!

Excellent thai and British menu selections

Very good food good reasonable price service good staff friendly

Food OK. Premises a bit scruffy. Very hard to get a smile out of the man in charge.

The Thai food is exceptional both in terms of quality and value. Less said about the restaurant decor the better but quaint none the less.

Not the greatest place i have eaten but certainly by no means the worst. Food was hot and well cooked the portion size was small for my groups liking while the price average. The service was not the quickest but this allowed the chance to chat with those i was with. A mix up with the drinks order ice in drinks that where asked to be ice and slice free came with ice and slicd so these drinks sent back to be re-done.

Friendly staff good beer food well presented

Very tasty Thai curries for a very good price, will definitely be back

Lovely pub and great Thai food.

Lovely Thai food, sat by open fire

Very good food at reasonable prices. We order a chicken coconut soup and spicy Tom yum seafood soup. Everything was great and it was very nicely balanced. As a main, the green curry chicken with coconut rice was a perfect choice. I would definitely come back!

The food (Thai) was excellent, though the service was a little lackadaisical.

Pub atmosphere enjoyed the beer was pleasantly surprised by Thai meal

Great Thai food. Good bar. Lovely log fire. Will be back when I visit the area again.

Lovely relaxed country pub. The Thai food is amazing it's so hard not to order some when you only plan to pop in for a drink!

The pub in itself is nice - good location and alright deco. Good selection of drinks and the food menu looked superb. I would like to emphasize the word "looked" as the food was dreadful. The thai dishes we ordered were most certainly all bought frozen and thrown in the deep fryer at the last minute. It was all pretty bland and tasteless. The staff were OK but were dumbfounded when the dessert we ordered came out frozen, twice! Definitely not recommended!

A great and proper village country pub. First lass real ales and a full compliment of wines, spirits, larger and soft drinks. Excellent pub grub and and extensive authentic Thai food always available. Not to be missed.

Does simply the best lunchtime Thai set menu I have ever had, bar none.

Lovely open fire, good food, great value. Enjoyed the chilli and garlic Thai chicken.

Lovely quaint country pub. Thai food is very impressive, well cooked and tasty. The English food on the other hand was less impressive, the hunters chicken was average but the cheese was like a plastic burger cheese. Wasn't impressed. Overall pub atmosphere was lovely regardless.

Great food in a classic country pub.

Amazing and authentic food, fresh and full of flavour. Highly recommend! Good ale selection and lovely setting.

Great pub, proper ales and friendly atmosphere

We usually go on a Monday night for the £10 curry and a drink deal. Bargain! Dog and dart friendly and has a separate dining room for non-dog lovers. The open fire is lovely in the winter.

Always fun with friends great food and gigs cider

Great food, traditional atmosphere

Great food, nice beer and the Landlord is a hoot.

I'm always surprised that a small country pub can produce such good food. Coupled with a good range of beers and some very good wines at everyday prices, it's a great night out. My only disappointment is the lack of a cheeseboard offering.

Tuesday, early evening, very quiet, however the Thai food was excellent and finally a pub playing decent music, old school rock. Good selection of beers for a small country pub. Will visit again when next in the area.

Had a very nice night here with friends. Very reasonably priced and good quality food. One minor complaint was that everything finished at 11am (dead on) when we were still happy to sit and chat.

Very good all round for food and beer Great Thai menu and well kept beers, accompanied with attentive but nicely understated service. Would recommend this to anyone at any time of the week. We went on a Wednesday night and there was plenty of space. Equally, on a nice sunny day the pub is nicely busy. We'll be back.
