The restaurant is now under new management and reopens 18 months after it suddenly shut in 2023.

Many questions were raised as to why the restaurant had stopped trading, with the previous owner, a gentleman called Egg, being described as a ‘brilliant manager’ who made everyone feel welcome.’

However, it is believed that the business owner, who also had restaurants in London and Brussels, sold Eat Thai to facilitate a move back to Thailand.

The rumoured return to his native country was allegedly motivated to be closer to his family.
