The Kings Head

Tucked away in the heart of Hythe, The Kings Head brings authentic Thai flavours to this seaside town with a confidence that's earned it a solid 4.3/5 from over 405 Google reviewers. The kitchen here clearly understands the balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy that defines proper Thai cooking, and they've been winning over locals and visitors alike with their consistently well-executed dishes. It's the kind of place that makes you wonder why you'd bother cooking when this standard of takeaway is just a phone tap away.

Their green curry is a standout – creamy coconut milk with just the right kick of heat, packed with tender chicken and Thai basil that actually tastes like it means business. The pad Thai comes with that essential smoky wok flavour, perfectly coated noodles and a generous squeeze of lime. Spring rolls are crisp, not greasy, and the massaman curry offers a gentler, more aromatic option for those who prefer their spice dialled down a notch. Whether you're feeding a crowd or just treating yourself, this is Thai takeaway done properly – and they deliver across Hythe.
