An impressive English pub on Clifton Road, the Norbiton and Dragon also houses an excellent Thai restaurant that is a shining beacon of excellence for South East Asian cooking in the Kingston-Upon-Thames area. The interior of the restaurant has been tastefully redecorated in a minimalist style with dark wooden floors, neatly set tables, and large windows that brighten up the dining area with natural light.

The a la carte menu includes familiar appetisers of aromatic duck spring rolls, grilled tiger prawns skewered and marinted in lemongrass and cracked black pepper, and crispy fried squid. Robust flavours are evident in a pad ped gaprow neau, a classic Thai beef dish stir-fried with red chilli, green beans, garlic and crispy holy basil leaves. There are plenty of banquet set menus designed for a minimum of two people and this makes the task of ordering slightly easier. The Little Dragon menu caters for tiny eaters who seek a mini feast of two or three courses.

The team at Norbiton and Dragon work alongside wine merchant Bibendum to design an attractive wine list and includes choices from around the world.
