Thai Takeaway in Kendal (Our Story)
Welcome To Unit 6
It is amazing what can happen within a few years. What began in February 2018 as a unit for storage and food preparation soon became a small streetfood cafe.
We cooked Thai meals by the street on our little market stall – the one we use for events and shows around Cumbria – and catered for workers on the industrial estate Tuesday, Thursday and Friday lunchtimes.
By July demand had grown for our food, so we closed on Tuesday and opened every Thursday from 12 until 9. Then, by October we were also cooking on Fridays.
The concept of developing a streetfood cafe began to evolve, and by February 2019 we had installed a wok cooker and developed the unit into an open kitchen, where customers can watch their meals being cooked.
In 2020 our business took another path as we opened our ‘Thai Cafe in Kendal’, serving traditional Thai food, inspired by dishes from grass-roots Thai cuisine.
Our Thai cafe at Yard 2, Stricklandgate caters for eat in meals, coffee and Thai tapas during the week from 10am – 4pm (Wed – Sat).
From March 2020 during the COVID-19 restrictions we established Kendal’s only Thai ‘Drive-Thru’ takeaway at Unit 6 on Thursday, Friday & Saturday evenings and so was born our Thai takeaway in Kendal.
How it Works (Drive-Thru Takeaway)
During COVID-19 we are operating a ZERO CONTACT ‘Drive-Thru’ system. When you collect, drive up, we will bring out your order, drive home, and enjoy your meal.
All our food is cooked fresh, we do not pre-cook any meals, so this limits the number of dishes we can prepare each evening. Therefore, it is advisable to pre-order your meals.
You can pre-order from Thursday morning by going to our menu, choose your dishes, call us on 07768 808249. We will give you a time to collect. Leave your telephone number and car registration and we will send you a link for payment from your phone.
If you prefer not to pre-order then you can call 07768 808249 and place your order when we are open at 5pm. Thank you.

Popular This Week
Pla Neung Manao (Steamed Fish)
This succulent, gently-steamed fish will fall apart in your mouth. Steamed sea bass or salmon served underneath a delicious chilli and garlic sauce. The mild hint of lime and chilli are a subtle contrast to the fresh natural taste of the fish. This dish cannot be kept overnight so make sure the plate is empty when you finish your meal. I’d be surprised if you didn’t!
“Fabulous Food”
“The food was delicious and lovely and hot, the spring rolls were the best I’ve ever had and not greasy at all and the mains had just the right mix of fresh veg and herbs and spice. Our online message was answered promptly and the ordering, payment and pickup was very organised and easy to use.“

“Best Takeaway Ever”
“I called up after a recommendation and I was told they were fully booked until 8.30. The owner managed to help me out and squeeze 3 delicious meals in at 4pm, they were outstanding. I have eaten a lot of Thais in the area & all round the world and this is one of the best !
Thank you very much we will be back soon :)”

“Best Thai”
“This is one of the best Thais I’ve ever had. The thought and care that went into the cooking of these dishes showed through ever dish. A slice of Thailand in Kendal. Will be coming back again and again. The corn fritters were just something else!”
