Thai Pot is a Thai restaurant at 1 Bedfordbury in Covent Garden. Established in 1992, it offers an intimate café style setting behind the London Coliseum and close to the theatres around St Martin’s Lane. Lunch, dinner and value focused set menus make it practical for a quick meal before a performance as well as a broader introduction to familiar Thai cooking.
Starters include spring rolls, fish cakes, satay and steamed Thai dumplings filled with chicken, prawns and water chestnut. Crisp golden sacks, chicken wings and grilled spare ribs add further textures, while tom yum and coconut based tom kha soups bring lemongrass, lime, chilli and aromatic herbs together in warming bowls.
Green, red, massaman and Panang curries can be paired with chicken, beef, duck, prawns or vegetables. The kitchen also prepares stir fries with cashew nuts, oyster sauce, chilli, basil, ginger and lemongrass. Jasmine rice and coconut rice provide natural accompaniments, allowing diners to balance the stronger sauces and levels of heat.
Noodles range from pad Thai with tamarind, egg, bean sprouts and peanuts to broad noodles cooked with soy or fresh chilli and basil. Thai salads and grilled dishes add lighter choices, while dedicated vegetarian sections cover starters, soups, curries and noodles. Ice cream, coffee, wine, beer and cocktails complete a menu that works particularly well for sharing several contrasting dishes.
