The cavernous 250-cover listed-building has been converted, rescued from near-dilapidation, and as a unique addition to stylish Stokey, it is obviously causing quite a stir.

The Venue
YumYum is a stress-free, sociable scene with a neutral beige and brown 1970s-esque interior. The calm ambiance stems from its genuine Thai spirit.

The Atmosphere
National musicians and singers added a clever touch to the launch night, and everything from the cutlery to the wooden tiles have been ferried from Thailand, over the course of two years.

The Food
The authenticity spills into the kitchen, and dishes such as the award-winning Kang Mussaman (a lamb peanut butter curry, stewed with pumpkin and potatoes) are spicily sensuous. The contemporary menu accentuates YumYum’s social side, offering generous meat and vegetarian set menus for two to four people – all under £20.

The Last Word
YumYum is such a hit it has surprised even itself. And, as such a novel place, in such a fresh area – the success will certainly last beyond its first year.
