From a very dubious operation called Corleone's to very worthwhile boozer called Soi 8. The man behind it is Kiwi David who spent his formative years flying for Cathay. David's very much hands on approach has seen this operation seriously blossom and is now one of the top pubs in the Sukhumvit area. His emphasis is on families and sport: this is undoubtable somewhere you take Mum and Gran to watch the Rugby, but only if you can get a seat!
The food menu is long and comprehensive with the usual mix of breakfasts, sandwiches and pub dishes. David once recommended to me 'Rigatoni with Parma ham, feta cheese, black olives, tomato sauce and extra virgin olive oil' so I took up the challenge and despite not being a great pasta man I enjoyed it. It is something different. Decent lamb and steaks, as well proper Kiwi cod, in the fish and chips, round out the section of 'stuff that walks and stuff that swims.' There is also a Thai section. So as you would expect in a decent pub menu there is lots of choice without going over the top. David has worked to get the food standard up and is constantly on the prowl to make certain it stays that way.
