TLDR: don't come here if you are not from England.
I hate to give this review, because it's excellent Thai food. But the owner (or is it the owner's husband?) is absolutely insufferable.
We have been there many times, but tonight will be our last....Each time he hands us the bill, he wants to know how much we would like to tip. As we are American, I don't fault some English hearing our accent and trying to take advantage of our culture of tipping. But we have politely declined, and tonight was no exception.
Tonight, he decided to pick a fight about it, demanding to know where else in England we have been that didn't expect a tip. I told him "many places", although I should have noted that his wife, who often brings us the bill, has never once asked if we would like to leave a tip.
That answer did not satisfy him. He berated us for several minutes, before I asked: Do you demand a tip from all your patrons, or just foreigners? He said he brings this topic up with all his customers. To which I responded: And do they enjoy being berated and pressured to leave to leave a tip?
He then had the audacity to say something to the effect of "well you keep coming back" as if our continued presence indicates that we enjoy being bullied. I told him that we may have been there many times in the past, but this would be our last.More
