The best, most delicious Massaman(?) curry I have ever had! Divine beef brisket, chat potatoes in a delectable curry sauce. Betel Boy also had a spectacular array of their own cocktails, with a large number on their dessert menu - more cocktails than desserts actually! This is heaven to me as I love a delicious digestive for dessert. I tried 2 , one before dinner, The Liar & one for dessert, Talk To Me. I LOVED them both! The glassware was beautiful, the lighting perfect & it was very easy for my friend & I to hear ourselves talk. This is my new favourite restaurant❤️‍🔥

Staff accomodating & friendly. All our group were happy with their meals. Only down fall was no pizza’s available on the evening & one member of the group had looked at the menu previously & saw GF base which she was hoping to have, so disappointed Pizza’s weren't available. Other than that all good.
