Revisited Serendipity last Friday having last been there about 2 years ago. As soon as we entered the premises we were made to feel most welcome. Despite staff wearing masks their enthusiasm shone through and the waitress lost no time in showing us how to order through the online menu. A couple of hiccups later, mostly down to mid-fifties' fat fingers on i-phones, we were into our stride. The owner/chef appeared to advise on choices with both drinks and wine and when the food arrived later we were not disappointed. Fusion is the name of the game here so guests are treated to the chefs take on traditional Asian cuisine. Throughout the meal the staff were attentive, without being overbearing, and there was a genuine interest in ensuring we had an enjoyable experience. Will certainly be back, if only to indulge in the eggy bread which was awesome!

had a really wonderful meal here with some friends and can't rate it highly enough. the staff go above and beyond to make sure all requests are catered for and you feel like a friend rather than a customer. we had the taster menu and it was delicious. out of the group no one had any complaints and rated it excellent value for money. would recommend to anyone in the area as a warm friendly stop for a refuel. well done.

Lovely meal, relaxed atmosphere and dining room. The staff are super friendly and happy to accommodate special requests if possible, in our case toning down the spice level of two dishes.

Ordered Pad Thai, and a Thai Green Curry takeaway today along with some starter's. Pad Thai and Green Curry were awful, bland, tasteless and a waste of hard earned money. Will not be back.

Well I was really looking forward to this meal, booked it as soon as lockdown lifted. I love Thai food and the reviews were so good I thought it was going to be wicked!Dun dun dun.....Nope!Apparently the chefs that were there before lockdown have moved on. I'm afraid it was very dismal.The food was lacking in flavour,vibrancy, colour and boldness. All the things you associate with authentic Thai food. In fact a person from Thailand tried this, they would be insulted. The "Tom yum soup" was weak hot water with chilli flakes floating on top spinach leaves for extra randomness . The "wontons" were over deep fried cheese grease parcels, would be more at home at a sub par Greek restaurant. The Curries .......well 2 bowels of enimic bland ...you get the pictureAvoid.2/10

I went here last night with my friends and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The food is so flavoursome, the mains are huge but very well priced. I had the Thai ramen which was an explosion of flavour. My friends both had curries and found them to be a bit too rich and creamy so they could only eat about 1/3 of the bowl. Our waiter was very pleasant and super attentive. The tables were well spaced out so it felt safe too.

We visited last night to find yet again that the food and service was exceptional even under the difficult circumstances caused by having to manage Covid precautions. We fully expected the prices to have been increased to absorb the loss of business caused by Covid but were pleasantly surprised to find that no prices had been increased. Again we would fully recommend Serendipity.

We cannot rate this restaurant too highly! The food is excellent - quality produce, expertly cooked and full of flavour.As regards takeaway eating in “a time of coronavirus”, we can also now rate them as excellent.We were four pairs of friends who were socially distancing in a large garden. We explained this to Ben’s team on the phone and that the pickup would be by someone shielding. The order was by FB Messenger with payment by phone. We pulled up outside at the agreed time, they brought the food out straight away in a thermal carrier, with each couple’s order in a separate bag that was marked with their name. They placed the carrier down and stepped back, we lifted each bag out and put them in the car, then drove off to have a wonderful meal with our friends.Thanks Ben and your team for stepping up in a difficult time and giving such wonderful food and service !

Valentines night was our third recent visit to Serendipity which is by far and away our favourite restaurant as the food is exceptional only matched by the warm and friendly atmosphere generated by the serving team. We tend to have the taster menu which consists of 5 courses, prepared to your individual ‘heat’ preference. We would both thoroughly recommend a trip to serendipity.

recommended to us as we were moaning that there are no decent Thai restaurants around. Admittedly we had to travel there from Skegness, but it was worth every mile. Booked the earliest we could so were the only people there for some time, but it quickly filled up. Small place, lovely atmosphere, Staff attentive (have to say the waitress was beautiful too), but the food - well it was to die for. We had the Tapas and enjoyed it so much we cleared our plates and left the restaurant so full it hurt - but we couldnt leave it!

Visited on a Friday night. Not too busy as had early booking. Great welcome from Ben on arrival. Visited about 2 years previously and heard it was under new ownership. Food just as good and would not have noticed any change. Quality and use of fresh ingredients were obvious. 3 in our group and we all enjoyed every course. Wine we wanted was sold out so Ben let us have a more expensive wine at same price which we appreciated. I won't describe food as it needs to be experienced. Although I must say we were so full at course 4 and then he brought us an amazing dessert of chocolate torte with mango infused sago balls that exploded with flavour in your mouth..Torte was light as a feather. Amazing experience. Shame we love so far away as we would be regulars.

We visited the restaurant tonight for the first time since the new owners have taken over. The food and service were excellent! The waiter was friendly, polite, attentive and knew the menus thoroughly! We opted for the taster menu which didn't disappoint, we were given the option of how spicy we wanted it. The only downside was the restaurant was very quiet while we were there meaning the atmosphere was lacking. We will definitely be back!

The food was absolutely excellent. We were asked what strength of food we wanted and it came exactly the way we asked for it... hot! We were asked about food allergies too which I thought was good. We chose the tapas menu (5 starters, 2 main courses and 2 rice) but there is the tasting menu consisting of 5 courses. There is an early bird menu I believe. The starters were good and a small taster of soup which was delicious. It was the mains that really shone out... WOW! Definitely going back again very soon. The new owners now have a licquor licence so a choice of wines and spirits is available.

I visited here with a group of girlfriends and since our last visit the restaurant has new owners and is now licensed whereas previously you had to take your own booze! We were all impressed by the fantastic food and attentive service. The tasting menu which I think cost £25 was superb, the highlight for me was the soup. This menu was made up of an amuse bouche of spicy meatballs on sticks followed by the soup, a mixed platter with dips, a selection of mains and different rice dishes, ending with a lemon tart, homemade meringue and cream. We did wonder why there were only 2 tables taken all evening when it is so good. Come on people, get yourselves booked in and see for yourselves!

We went for the Early Bird last Friday evening. My hubby is a big fan of hot food, and we'd heard good things about the Penang. We were not at all disappointed. Both of our meals were tasty - I had the chicken and cashew stir fry and was pleased to find that unlike many places I've eaten in, even the cashews themselves had a great flavour rather than just being there to fill. All ingredients were fresh and nothing tasted pre prepared or packaged. The penang was as good as hoped, the perfect level of heat whilst maintaining an actual flavour rather than just being spicy. I'd strongly recommend visiting. Really surprised by the reviews saying the food was tasteless. From our point of view it was far from it!

As a regular visitor of this restaurant which has been my favourite for years and has always provided very delicious food, I have to say that I have given up hope, and after my last meal a few weeks ago I don't think I will be visiting again. I genuinely didn't want to leave negative feedback and after my last review the new owner provided his email address and responded really kindly to my issues saying that he would be more than happy to help - which was lovely. Despite sending two emails I have not received any response and my last curry was bland, tasteless and I couldn't eat it - even my husband's stir fry lacked flavour having no lemon grass in, despite being a lemon grass flavoured dish? I expected some changes and hung in there as I wanted to support this restaurant. It's a real shame in my view.

I love this restaurant and have had a weekly take away for nearly 4 years and I really hoped that with the change over things would stay the same. The food is not poor quality at all, but after ordering my favourite dish on the last few occasions it was not spicy at all. My husband mentioned to the manager that it wasn’t as hot but we kept visiting, and then on the last occasion it was so mild and so I called up - not to complain but just to say that the dish was really mild and is meant to be extremely hot. My husband and I went back tonight and to be fair it was more spicy, but now had big chunks of boiled carrots (in addition to the usual sliced carrots) and two great big boiled potatoes in it. As a vegetarian I am restricted to what I can have on the menu but its nice to have some consistency and I don’t need to have a dish of carrots cooked two ways - the dish has become far removed from the dish that I loved and would order time and time again. They also forgot our chips. This is without a doubt my favourite place to eat and my favourite meal and so I do feel very disappointed I’m sorry to say.

Food - All 3 of us had the taster menu, which is 5 courses. When you arrive you are asked if you have any special dietary requirements and what spiciness you require. I am pescatarian and we all requested medium heat. It’s as simple as that, then a short while later the food starts to be served. All the courses were very tasty and well presented. Good selection of dishes.

We had visited this restaurant before, so knew what to expect - superb Thai food, a relaxed atmosphere, attentive staff. If we have any criticism it is that perhaps the Taster Menu should be renamed Set Menu as Taster Menu suggests small portions served as examples of dishes. In reality, the Taster is a five course meal - a single-bite hors d'oeuvre, soup, a mixed starter (for us, chicken satay, spring rolls, fishcakes and beef skewers), a main course (for us, Geang Pa, King Prawn Pad-Thai, Green curry and a pork dish, accompanied by three different rice dishes - all large portions), dessert). The Thai dining experience is slightly let down by the dessert (which is not Thai) but we knew what to expect so can't complain. A lighter dessert would have been welcome (ours was a chocolate torte, quite rich and heavy) after such a filling meal. We had asked for medium heat, but the pork dish was too hot for us to enjoy - the hot dishes must be really hot! Otherwise, we had a most enjoyable evening.

Having visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday, we feel like we have had a real taste of Thailand. The food completely transported our taste buds halfway across the world, the flavours complimented each other perfectly and the presentation was outstanding- we almost didn’t want to eat it... but the aromas smelt too good not to. The service was attentive and the staff seemed to go out of their way to accommodate all of our parties tastes. The vegetarian menu was positively surprising with a great selection of food and flavours. If you are looking for something different to your usual Thai and are feeling spontaneous then this is the place for you. Overall we enjoyed what we would call a 5 star experience, so thank you we will definitely be visiting again.

Phil and his team were very attentive and ensured we were well looked after.

If you are unfamiliar with Thai food and cautious of what to expect then this isnt the place for you. Not everyone embraces the new experience in stepping out of their comfort zone but it does help if the role of the expert can educate the guest and install some confidence in their product. First comment of `Our website clearly states what is on the menu .. is not helpful if you havent seen it !! The ambiguous menu using wording of .... mouthwatering dishes specially selected to match your own personal tastes ,,,,, needs to be explained and its not unreasonable to state that spicy food is not enjoyed .. spicy as in hot. 5 COURSES may also be a little daunting if unaware of what might be expected. So the conversation poorly continued until we were asked to leave being told that the confused guest was arrogant.

Particularly love sitting out on the patio area in summer (even bring our own blankets if it might get chilly). We always choose the taster menu and have enjoyed everything we have eaten.

Went for the early bird menu...wow...what can I say, the food was amazing as was the service. You take your own wine/alcohol and they charge you a small corking fee, so you are not getting ripped off on drinks either....perfect.

Visited Thai dining for their amazing early bird menu. We were visiting the area for a few days away and were looking for somewhere to eat. So glad we visited this place as the food was well worth it, staff were lovely and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Next time we are in the area would definitely go again

We arrived on a lovely sunny evening and choose to sit outside for a while. The staff greeted us at the door and explained the taster menu and then showed us to a table we picked outside. The food was amazing! I have never tried Thai food before but this was a very good experience! Even better that the chef came to the table to check it everything was okay. The blonde waiter (sorry we didn’t get your name) came outside even offered me her jacket in case I got chilly when the temperature dropped. Now that’s customer service! Really enjoyed this evening and will definitely be back! Thank you so much to the staff & the chef ☺️

We went here for the first time yesterday. We sat in the beautiful garden overlooking the river. So peaceful and tranquil. The food was amazing and service excellent. Very good value for money. We would definitely recommend it. Can’t wait to go again.

Ate here yesterday. So good I'm back again tonight. Extremely good value top quality food, great service and the dining area out the back by the river is the icing on the cake. Not licensed to sell alcohol but simply bring your own.

Ignore the bad reviews, I have eaten here a few times now and have NEVER had a bad meal. We had the taster menu, our dietary requirements / allergies were ascertained on ordering and we were asked our preference of chilli heat too. All courses were amazing, beautiful flavours with exactly the right amount of chilli. The atmosphere is peaceful just right for us to chat with our friends, the staff were friendly and able to answer almost our questions. We will definitely return.

Probably the 4th time I’ve visited. Each time it has been a taster menu and each time excellent. Too many dishes to describe, but the mackerel amuse-bouche, pork ball starter and wild rabbit thai curry deserved special attention. Can’t wait to go back.

My partner paid for a masterclass for a gift and it was best gift by far. We went on Saturday 17th March. I learned alot about thai food and learnt how too cook some of my favourite dishes. It was very good we had a giggle at the same time. But best of all i am now able to cook some thai. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to cook thai, phil is a very easy going man explains everything so well. We got to taste what was made and we left comfortably full with a goody bag of some ingredients. Thanks again to phil and his team.

We booked a couple of weeks ahead for a birthday meal for just the two of us. We were warmly greeted and seated at a cosy table for two. The wine we brought was corked quickly which is always a plus and we were also offered a selection of soft drinks that they serve.

As a sceptic and dedicated life long eater of only English food we were amazed at the quality, amount, flavours and tastes. Value for money. Staff attentive, pleasant and unobstrusive who took time to explain the various taster menu ingredients. Time and effort by Phillip was taken into consideration our different dietry requirements to produce an outstanding experience which will be repeated. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you. Unsure how anyone could critise this establishment. 5* all the way.

Arrived just under half an hour early, not a problem, parked outside the main door, with on street parking. Our third visit and the greeting was very friendly, the owner also remembered us from our previous visit. The food selection was varied and we opted for two variants. Our waitress was very confident and polite, always around to answer any questions and serve us. The food was exceptional once again and a good portion on each count, freshly cooked and homemade sauces......various heat levels were available and once again well measured. Right down to the service and quality we will definitely revisit.

For a small quaint litte restaurant that offers authentic thai food that tingles the taste buds. We have visited on many occassions for the taster menu and have not yet been disappointed with the food we have been given. For £25 you get your moneys worth. The good thing about it is every dish is a suprise not something i would of ever thought of ordering and now there are many thai dishes i now enjoy.. phil and his staff are very polite and welcoming he often comes and talks to us about the dishes and whats in them... Highly recommend a visit.

Only been here for a takeaway and only came away with one complaint. It took a very long time to arrive, however, they did warn us of this. The food really was amazing though so the wait is worth it!

Booked for 2 people for the Saturday "taster menu" primarily on the back of excellent online reports, unfortunately our experience does not in any way mirror the existing comments

The advertising didn't say anything about booking so we just turned up. We were seated in a corner of a small back room, each facing a blank wall. The riverside area was not in use on a sunny evening in August. The service was fine and the Thai food is good. There is no drinks license although you can take your own; we, and the people sitting at tables nearby, were not aware of that. A better web site is called for!

My partner and I went to Horncastle for a weekend away, I found this place on TripAdvisor and booked in before the trip.Our experience was lovely, the service & food were fantastic. We especially liked the satay skewers and spring rolls. Although not a traditional Thai dish the white chocolate pud was beautiful!For £25 each plus take your own alcohol it's fantastic, a must go for anyone!

This was a very pleasant and enjoyable visit. The Staff were friendly and the chef made several visits to check he had not poisoned us. That of course was a joke, he was charming and attentive, The food has a strong thai influence, but he describes it more as fusion cooking where several influences are combined, Very enjoyable and excellent value at £25 each for the five course taster menu. We will return!

4 of us went to the Thai Dining & Riverside Grill on Wed 26thnJuly and what a wonderful experience it was! The staff were very polite and knowledgeable. The food from the spicy pea soup, the selection of starters, the jasmine rice, red chicken and pork dish through to the dessert of either while chocolate tart or ice cream and honeycomb was truly remarkable! It's definitely somewhere we shall be visiting again!

What a find. We went mid week and the restaurant buzzing. Having been given the options by our lovely waitress we chose the Tapas menu. Great that you don't have to trawl through a paper menu, the description was enough to wet our appetites. Loved the idea of bringing your own alcohol as there are no silly prices apart from corkage, which was reasonable seeing as they put in the fridge and served in an ice wrap. The food was plenty and absolutely delicious. We even had room for desert. Loved this place and the owner was very attentive as were the two waitresses. Well done it was a pleasure to dine out. You have nailed it as far as we were all concerned and we will definitely be back. It's a 10/10 from us.

Thought we'd try this out as we just fancied Thai and it was the nearest one to a friends. We were pleasantly surprised ... note it doesn't hold a license so you can take you're own alcohol! we arrived at 5 just in hope we'd get a table and they were able to help. The was no menu it was the 5 course taster menu so they just asked you a few questions about your tastes and any allergies and away you go the meal was a complete surprise. The whole 5 courses were really great it tasty fresh and cooked really well. Service was good and the place had a nice feel. I would certainly go back again... quite fancy trying the Thai tapas night which I think is I the week!

One of best restaurants I have eaten at recently - my husband and I had the Thai tapas menu. It was excellent and I would highly recommend the food here. There was no actual choice but the chef adapted the menu for your particular liking/strength. Very well presented and tasty. The staff were all fantastic and attentive. We will definitely recommend this little gem of a restaurant (provided you are flexible with choices) and are looking to going back again.

An absolute fantastic meal. A great find. Everything was extremely tasty. Staff very friendly, service was excellent. However if you want an alcohol beverage you must take your own £2.00 corkage fee. A perfect night. In lovely surroundings.

Rang up and ordered a takeaway and was told at the end of my order that they had run out of prawn crackers😳 Collected my order at the allotted time and drove home, approximately 5mins. I opened the bag and the food had leaked all over. The packaging has changed to cardboard boxes which don’t seal. I plated the food up and it looked very different to the usual dishes and the portions were much smaller than usual. I started to eat and the food was cold. I tried to ring the restaurant but it was engaged. I decided to microwave the food and started eating. The red thai curry didn’t taste like it normally does and it consisted of 8 pieces of chicken, 3 small pieces of red pepper, 1 slice of mushroom and copious amounts of bamboo shoots, they made up 90% of the dish. I also had a chicken pad thai which was a much smaller portion and tasted very bitter. The food was average to say the least and nowhere near the normal standard and quality I have grown to love from this restaurant. I ate a few mouthfuls and left the rest. The reason I order a takeaway is because I want a good quality meal cooked by a professional chef who has mastered their craft to make my meal the best tasting it can be using the freshest ingredients available and in return make me want to return again and again, unfortunately this was no better than your average packet mix meal. Very Very disappointed. It seems like the restaurant is trying to cut costs with the new packaging, the bamboo shoot fillers and the much smaller portions. It’s resulting loosing me as a customer as I will no longer be ordering from the Siam Orchid again.
