“Auddy’s Authentic Thai Cuisine” is one of the many Thai eateries setup in a London pub. Often I find the food outclasses the pub and this is certainly one of those instances I’m afraid. I’ve had the pleasure of eating Auddy’s food on many occasions over the years and my girlfriend and I have never been disappointed. It’s particularly good when the small patio is open in the summer and you can escape the smokey hordes in the pub - this is one of those pubs you feel may struggle to meet the new anti-smoking laws.

If we forget about the venue for the moment and focus on the food, I can happily report this is another fantastic cheap eat. There are the usual Thai classics you expect to find such as the cracking Massaman curry, stir fried chicken with cashew nuts (kai pad medmamuang) and Pad Thai. Alongside the classics there is a good variety of vegetarian dishes and Auddy also understands this means no Nam Pla (fish sauce). The Salad Churchills is excellent - sliced beef, with cucumbers, tomato, onion and a spicy lemon Thai dressing - although it has changed names since I last had the pleasure. On the whole the dishes maintain the truly authentic tastes you expect, with moderately spicy heat.

On the down side I’ve sometimes found the deep fried fish cakes are a little overdone for my tastes, but aside from that, the portion sizes are fair and the food excellent. I have to say this is perhaps my favourite cheap eat in SW London, I only hope Auddy and his family eventually find some premises that do them justice. Churchills is a good pub, but it isn’t a place to enjoy food as good as this.

Auddy and Churchills can be found on St. John’s Hill, a five minute walk from Clapham Junction train station.
