Bangkok Blogger|Tales from Thailand

I love Thai food but can’t eat it 24/7. I probably ate Thai food for most meals when I first came out to Bangkok but after a year or so out here I eat more Western food alongside the Thai dishes. Back home I used to love cooking a Sunday roast for my friends or going down the pub for one. In Bangkok cooking a roast dinner is not really practical due to the expense and the hassle of finding all the required components.

But thankfully there are lots of places in Bangkok that offer a Sunday Lunch. Some do an all you can eat carvery and others do a standard meal.  Out of the many pubs in Bangkok that serve a Sunday Roast I’ve only been to two but both have been very good. The pubs I have been to that do a Roast Dinner are Molly Malone’s on soi Convent, just off Silom road near Sala Daeng BTS and the Londoner Brew Pub on Sukhumvit soi 33 near Phrom Pong BTS (opposite the Emporium mall).

Both pubs serve the main Sunday Roast staples which include:

• Meats: Chicken, Beef, Pork, Lamb & Ham
• Potatoes: Roast & Mashed
• Veg: assorted veg including carrots, peas and cauliflower
• Cauliflower Cheese
• Yorkshire Puddings
• A full range of Sauces and Gravy
• Dessert
• Soup & Bread

As well as all this The Londoner also does a big range of  salad, fish and cheese and crackers for afters.

Although The Londoner does have a bigger selection including lots of dessert options my award of the best Roast Dinner in Bangkok goes to Molly Malone’s in Silom.  There meat is nicer and for me that is the corner stone of a good Sunday Lunch:  nice meat!

Although both pubs are mock Irish/Ye Olde English pubs the atmosphere in Molly’s is a bit better although if you can get a booth in The Londoner it is probaby more comfortable.

There is not much to separate these two Bangkok Sunday Lunches and they both cost between 400 and 500 baht so I recommend you try them both out and decide for yourself.

If you know of any other good pubs in Bangkok that do a Sunday Lunch please leave a comment and I will check them out!
