Really tasty! 😋 😋 We’ve been meaning to try this place for nearly 2-years but it was either booked out for an event or fully booked for tables, so finally we’ve had a taste. I had the Weeping Tiger steak which I have to say was exceptional 👌🏼. When choosing steak I almost always go for Fillet but this Sirloin was spot on, comes ready sliced on the skillet so makes it easy. The sauce it’s cooked in absolutely makes it. I had a side dish of Salt n Chilli chips which were also great. My wife had Chicken Penang curry which she said was great, too. Staff very pleasant. Would have been nice to been asked if we wanted more drinks during our meal as we would have said yes. Car park at rear with outside seating in garden if you need it or the weather is actually good enough! Deffo make a booking, you won’t regret it.

Love ❤️ to eat here as the food is consistently delicious, well presented, good portions and value for money. Staff are helpful too. Could do with a few leafy palm type plants to add to the atmosphere but that’s only my opinion!

Been meaning to pay this place a visit for ages. Today took my fifteen year old niece who was thrilled to try something new. We were not disappointed. Been to Thailand many times. The food at Spice Merchant authentic and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this place. The Phuket Thalay simply magnificent. Waitress very friendly/sweet and gave great service and advice. Definitely coming back.

Nice pub. Beer was well kept and food looked amazing. Think the staff were having an off day as they didn’t seem very welcoming.

Food excellent... We're really big fans of The Spice Merchant. The food is generally excellent, and the service is friendly and attentive. The new climbing frame in the garden is also great for the kids. My one slight disappointment is their current range of beers. There has only been one draft ale the last few times I've been, and the only IPA they have on tap (Atlantic) surely wouldn't be anyone's first choice. I would really like it if they could improve on this and get some better options onto the bar. Other than that though, it is highly recommended -- specially for the quality and freshness of the food.

Update: Visited: 16/06/2024: - Disappointing! It feels a shame to add this update but I feel it is necessary to highlight the poor service in response to an issue that should never happen in a restaurant. One of the dishes served was Balinese Chicken. Whilst eating it, we discovered a small blue elastic band, about an inch in diameter, in the meal. This was highlighted to the staff but that was the end of it. No apology or explanation from the Manager or Chef. It felt like it was just dismissed. Unfortunately this will have an impact on future choices as to whether we should return. Real shame as the food, apart from the "extras", was lovely. *************************** Previous Review was 5 stars *************************** Booked a table at this Crookham Village pub. Staff were very pleasant and amenable. Ordered a Red and a Green curry with Egg Fried Rice. Both were very tasty. For dessert it was Banana Fritters and a Strawberry Sundae. Nice way to round off the dinner. Would recommend a visit.

It feels a shame to add this update but I feel it is necessary to highlight the poor service in response to an issue that should never happen in a restaurant. One of the dishes served was Balinese Chicken. Whilst eating it, we discovered a small blue elastic band, about an inch in diameter, in the meal. This was highlighted to the staff but that was the end of it. No apology or explanation from the Manager or Chef. It felt like it was just dismissed. Unfortunately this will have an impact on future choices as to whether we should return. Real shame as the food, apart from the "extras", was lovely. *************************** Previous Review was 5 stars *************************** Booked a table at this Crookham Village pub. Staff were very pleasant and amenable. Ordered a Red and a Green curry with Egg Fried Rice. Both were very tasty. For dessert it was Banana Fritters and a Strawberry Sundae. Nice way to round off the dinner. Would recommend a visit. Update: Visited: 16/06/2024: - Disappointing!
