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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

Good place, the ambience was nice and the food was okay. I found one thing that's not up to my imagination was the side dish I got when I ordered Chicken Biryani. I got Sambar as side dish. As an Indian, I haven't had Sambar as side dish for any Biryani. Usually it's served with curd.
