Last week, I had a fantastic Thai-themed night out—starting with a performance by The Ladyboys of Bangkok and followed by an incredible Thai street food feast at @namo_eat located inside @the_eagle_pub_btn

I’ve always been a fan of The Eagle, right in the heart of Brighton. It’s known for its vibrant atmosphere, great drinks, and consistently excellent Thai food—and there’s a good reason it’s always buzzing. This time, we indulged in a variety of Thai dishes that were nothing short of exceptional. We started with the samchun jimjaew—crispy pork belly with sesame and nam jim jaew dipping sauce—which was packed with flavour and perfectly cooked. The bang bang cauliflower was another standout: golden, crispy cauliflower tossed in a spicy gochujang sauce, sesame, and shichimi chilli. For mains, we enjoyed the comforting kao soi—egg noodle curry with chicken thighs, lime-pickled cabbage, shallots, and chilli oil—rich, warming, and full of depth. We also had the gaitord satay, a delicious dish of fried chicken with rice and creamy satay sauce that was absolutely outstanding. It was a true feast, and we left completely satisfied. Without a doubt, this was one of the best Thai meals I’ve had in Brighton in a long time. The staff were genuinely lovely—attentive, welcoming, and eager to make our evening special!

If you haven’t been, I highly recommend visiting Namo at The Eagle. The food is super authentic, bursting with flavour, and an absolute treat for Thai street food lovers. I already can’t wait to go back! You can also find @namo_x_brighton at the lovely @sidewinder_brighton too so even more choice and even more reason to check it out!
