Authentic, restaurant-quality Thai street food in Cumbria.

Events & Festivals

Over 6,000 customers enjoyed our Thai street food at events and festivals in Cumbria in 2018.

In 2017, at the Windemere Christmas Celebration, it was -6 degrees and our veg froze!

In Morecambe we faced gale-force winds of 50mph on the promenade.

At Hawkshead Beer Festival we sold 116 Pad Thai and 70 Green Curry in one afternoon and one customer ran to the Spar for chicken because we had sold out.

On Kendal market last winter we pitched on a blanket of snow and built a snowman – not many people came for lunch!

Last year, the summer was fantastic. It was a joy to pitch our stall, so easy, so warm, though not quite as hot as Thailand.

Under our canopy it was 35 degrees and we struggled to keep the temperatures down, fridges were brought in, we have now built a sun roof, ready for 2019.

In 2019 we are venturing further afield to Clitheroe Food Festival and Bolton Food & Drink, which should be interesting. We may even do a music festival or two.

Our highlights in November are the Dickensian and the exciting Lowther Firework Festival.
And, hopefully, this winter, our veg won’t freeze again in Windermere.

Follow us, on Facebook and Instagram, we will be adding to our menu and bringing traditional Thai dishes to Cumbria. See you on the street!

More Info

We are excited to be catering again at ‘The Fox Tap‘ in Keswick. This new bar, part of Keswick Brewery opened in October 2019.

Thai @ The Tap will be a regular event for 2020, this is our second date, our first was on Saturday 28th March 2020. Our next date is on the 29th August on the bank holiday weekend.

The Fox Tap which opened at the end of October last year is already receiving great reviews. The Tap is part of the building that houses the Keswick Brewing Company, so there should be a great range of beers to taste along with our Thai food; spicy for the brave and mellow for those that enjoy less milder flavours.

For Thai @ The Tap, our popular ‘pub event’ dish: ‘Box to Go’ is a box of assorted starters, including chicken satay, spring rolls, sesame toast and wonton

Our new dishes that we created last year will be at Thai @ The Tap: Thai Wrap, which is a great favourite, followed by the ultimate in pub food, our ‘Box To Go’.
Of course, the usual suspects will be on the menu, such as Green Curry, Pad Thai, Pad Krapow and possibly Jungle Curry for those who like a challenge! Vegetarian and Vegan options will be available.

How Keswick Brewery began

The Keswick Brewery is a small craft brewery set up with quality and environmental issues at its heart. The brewery was set up in the Spring of 2006 by a group of enthusiastic and passionate brewers with great pride in the beers they produce.”After years of searching for premises a suitable building was found. In December 2005 building work began. Since finding the premises we have found out that this site is believed to be the oldest brewery known to have been in Keswick – ‘The Keswick Brewery Company’.

“Our first trial brew was exhibited at the Cumbria Life Food and Drink Festival in Spring 2006 and at the Dog and Gun in Keswick. The first production beers were launched at the Dog and Gun and the Keswick Beer Festival in June 2006. The first beer we made was Thirst Run, a Golden Pale Ale – 4.2%, this has now become one of our best sellers. The use of ‘Thirst’ for our beer range came from this first beer. Thirst Run was originally called ‘First Run’, but due to a misunderstanding on the phone the graphic designer came up with ‘Thirst Run’.”

Opening times: The Fox Tap – Tuesday to Saturday 12 – 5pm.
