A NEW Amesbury restaurant was packed with guests at an opening event where they were encouraged to ‘savour the spice’.

The grand opening event for Asian restaurant Siam Smile, in the High Street, was held on February.

Guests on the day included the Mayor of Amesbury, Cllr Alan Hagger, as well as members of the business community and Chamber of Trade.

“The event was a resounding success, with guests enjoying a variety of traditional Thai dishes crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients,” a spokesperson said.

Owner Joy Amonrat, who used to operate the Siam Smile restaurant at the Antrobus Hotel, explained how the new venture brings the best of the old restaurant into the new premises, with an emphasis on Asian street food.

Joy also owns the popular Bubble Tea shop, next door to the new café.

The new restaurant promises a ‘peaceful and tranquil setting’ and is open from noon until 9pm Monday to Saturday, with a menu boasting popular Thai street food favourites including Korean Fried Chicken, Pad Thai and Thai Green Curry.

Joy said: “I am overwhelmed by the support we have received from everyone in the community.

“This journey has been incredible, and I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support.

“I would also like to say a special thank you to my partner, James Crichton, for his support and understanding through this exciting chapter. We are excited to share the vibrant flavours of Thailand with Amesbury.”
