“Sometimes you walk by the good ones ’cause you’re trying too hard to see them.” Wise words from Will Young.

We first hit @farangldn back in 2018 and even though we loved it we hadn’t returned since. CRIMINAL. Now we have and we’re happy to report that Farang is better than ever.

@sebbyholmes has been working tirelessly and relatively quietly for the last 10 years – still all about those punchy Thai flavours, still making most things from scratch. Highlights for us were the coconut chilli jam (nam prik pao) with prawn crackers, Gai Prik crispy spicy chicken, watermelon salad (done in the sous vide to a tuna-like texture), deep-fried sea bass with curry sauce, and a seriously good mango sticky rice brûlée.

Love seeing an indie neighbourhood spot hit 10 years, especially in the current climate. taken in Farang London by @farangldn

Thursday and Friday we do a set lunch. Four courses, £35, 12 until half two.

Tiger prawn miang bites to start.

Pad kee mao with free range chicken, shiitake mushrooms, tiger prawns, wild ginger, green peppercorns and chillies, alongside a shrimp, cucumber and lime salad.

Banana roti with condensed milk and cassia to finish.

It’s proper food at a price that makes sense. Book the link in bio. taken in Farang London by @farangldn

We’ve just retained our Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026! Well, a few days ago - I’m a little late to the party 🤣.

We’re all properly chuffed to have kept our @michelinguide BIB for 8 consecutive years. It’s a huge nod to what we care about at Farang: big flavours, proper cooking, and making sure you leave happy (and full).

Massive thank you to our brilliant team, our amazing suppliers and to everyone who’s booked, queued, brought mates, come back again, and banged the drum for us over the years. We don’t take it for granted.

If you fancy celebrating with us, bookings are open (link in bio). See you at the tables!

A special thanks again to @michelinguide for noticing what we are doing in our little corner of North London. I never would have thought when I took on the lease of the Old San Daniele from my stepdad with £10 in my pocket we could be where we are today 👊🏻🍻🔥 taken in Farang London by @farangldn

New on the autumn menu: Shetland mussels and smoked haddock in a creamy coconut tom yum (tom yum nam khon) 🌊🌶️

We build the broth first. Cherry tomatoes, lemongrass, galangal, coriander root, makrut lime and our nahm prik pao go into chicken stock and simmer until they’ve all got to know each other. Then smoked haddock and the mussels go in, the lid goes on and the heat goes up. A couple of minutes and a gentle shake later, the shells pop open.

We finish it the way you’d want a tom yum to taste: fish sauce, a little palm sugar, tamarind and a squeeze of lime. Then we add a slick of coconut cream to round it all off, with torn Thai basil and calamansi on top. It’s an amazing combination: a smoky, spiced, salty, sweet and sour broth cascading off the mussels, with a hit of citrus and Thai basil to finish.

Why Shetland? These mussels start life as wild larvae floating in the North Atlantic. They settle on ropes hung from longlines and grow on nothing but plankton carried in on the tides. There’s no feed and no chemicals. Each one filters up to 50 litres of seawater a day. Shetland grows about two-thirds of Scotland’s mussels, and they were the first of their kind in Scotland to earn MSC certification, back in 2012. They’re sweet, plump and properly sustainable, and they’re at their best right now, as the water turns cold.

Get a bowl of rice on the side for the broth. Trust us.

Fridays at @farangldn look a bit like this... Well in fact most days at the restaurant do too!

We've just launched our new Autumn menu, but for the moment here's a few highlights from the end of our summer servings.

Open as usual for lunch and dinner service, stop by and try out our new specials or the delights on the a la carte, tasting and feasting menu's.

And if you want something to take home then we've got all of our @paystltd in store to make that pilgrimage with you.

See you shortly! taken in Farang London by @farangldn

New on the autumn menu 🍅🍑

Tomato and plum salad. Autumn tomatoes and plums, dressed in tamarind, lime and fish sauce, then hit with wok-smoked chilli powder and roasted rice for that toasty, smoky crunch. A little palm sugar just to round the edges.

Salty, sour and smoky up front, a kick of heat behind it, and a gentle sweetness to hold it all together. Packed with Thai basil, coriander and mint. On the tasting menus it’s served alongside our spicy aged beef cheek gaeng gatti curry, and the sharp, fresh salad against that rich, fiery curry is a perfect match.

On the à la carte and on our tasting and feasting menus now.

A dish from our Autumn menu: Red curry pork and prawn toast.

Minced pork belly from @hgwalter , minced again with fresh prawns, then marinated in our red curry paste made from scratch by @paystltd . Lime leaf cut into fine threads, Thai basil, coriander and lime zest.

We pipe it, roll it, fry it hard so it’s crisp and golden outside, juicy and rich inside. Salty, spicy, a little sweet & sour to balance.

Sesame on top, trout roe, chilli, more lime leaf. One bite and it’s gone, then you’re straight back in for another.

Available on al a carte and all tasting menus. Book in and have a try by clicking the bookings link in our bio 👆🏻

We ate a LOT of good food in Bangkok last September, but @somtumder.bkk definitely deserves a mention. 🇹🇭

It’s small, busy and the kind of place we keep going back to because everything always hits the spot. Plus, it appears to be open pretty much all day… always useful when your Bangkok itinerary revolves around eating. 😂

We went for the fried chicken with spicy tamarind dipping sauce, grilled pork neck, sweetcorn fritters with sweet chilli, and of course the assortment of som tums. All excellent.

But then there was the pork kra pao… Minced pork absolutely loaded with chopped bird’s eye chillies, fish sauce and holy basil, served over jasmine rice and topped with a wok-fried egg.

So so delicious and a dish we’d happily go back for tomorrow… but instead this weekend we’ll be in the kitchen making all your favourites at @farangldn

Add this one to your Bangkok itinerary; it’s a must visit.

A very special moment for all of us. 🏆 ⭐ @guildoffinefood

We’re incredibly proud to share that our Hung Lay Curry Paste been awarded a Great Taste Golden Fork Award in the Rest of the World category.

When we started Payst, our ambition was simple: to capture the vibrant, complex flavours of Thai street food and bring a little of that magic into your kitchen.

Drawing on years of culinary exploration and the experience of Seb and the team of chefs behind Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant @farangldn , we’ve poured an enormous amount of care into every recipe.

To see that recognised with a Golden Fork means a huge amount to us personally. A massive congratulations to all of the nominees, and those who took home a little prize of their own. 👏

Thank you for cooking with us, sharing our love of Thai food, and being part of the Payst journey. We're not stopping here!

With love,
Seb, Tony, Vicky & Tom taken in Farang London by @farangldn
