Top 5 British Restaurants in Bangkok

The Institution of British Dining

As Bangkok’s oldest microbrewery, The Londoner is the gold standard. It feels exactly like a high-end gastropub in West London. Spanning three floors, it offers everything from casual pub grub to sophisticated dining. They are famous for their Sunday Roast, which includes high-quality imported meats and massive Yorkshire puddings. Their house-brewed craft beers are the perfect accompaniment to their signature Fish & Chips.

The Thong Lo Local

Thong Lo is usually known for fancy cocktail bars, but The Old English Pub keeps it traditional. Conveniently located right under the BTS station, it serves British comfort food (pies, fish & chips) and has screens everywhere. It’s smaller and cozier than the giant sports bars, making it great for a more intimate viewing experience with friends.

Opening Time: Daily, 08:00 – 02:00.

Location: Thong Lo Road (Sukhumvit 55), near the BTS.

How to get there:

BTS Skytrain: Thong Lo Station (Exit 3). It is practically at the bottom of the stairs.

The Community Hub

The Royal Oak is one of the longest-running British pubs in the Phrom Phong area. It has a fantastic community feel, hosting weekly quiz nights and comedy shows. The food is unpretentious and comforting, think Bangers and Mash, Steak and Kidney Pie, and a solid breakfast. The outdoor terrace is a great spot to people-watch in the lively Soi 33/1 neighborhood.

Opening Time: Daily, 08:00 – 01:00.

Location: 595/10 Sukhumvit Soi 33/1.

How to get there:

BTS Skytrain: Get off at Phrom Phong Station (Exit 5). Walk past EmQuartier and turn into Soi 33/1 (the "British" soi). It’s about 100 meters in.

The Cozy Asoke Escape

Tucked away near the busy Asoke intersection, The Black Swan is a quiet sanctuary. It is authentic, cozy, and proudly traditional. The decor features heavy timber and classic pub memorabilia. They serve excellent draught Guinness and a menu packed with British staples like Cottage Pie and Cornish Pasties. It’s the perfect place to escape the Bangkok heat and enjoy a quiet pint.

Opening Time: Daily, 12:00 – 00:00.

Location: Sukhumvit Soi 19.

How to get there:

BTS/MRT: Get off at Asoke BTS or Sukhumvit MRT. Walk down Soi 19 (past Terminal 21) for about 3 minutes. It’s on the left side.

The Phrom Phong Icon

Located at the entrance of the so-called "British Ghetto" (Soi 33/1), The Robin Hood is arguably the most authentic-looking English pub in the city. With its red brick walls, wooden bar, and sports playing on every TV, it feels like a high-street pub in London. They are famous for their Early Bird Specials (discounted food before 7 PM) and a fantastic Sausage & Mash. It is the go-to meeting point for expats in the area.

Opening Time: Daily, 09:00 – 00:00.

Location: 597/1-3 Sukhumvit Soi 33/1.

How to get there:
