Quick info
About BKK Social
BKK Social is a Thai restaurant in Gloucester, based at Unit 7 in Gloucester Quays. The menu takes its cue from Bangkok street food and is built around sharing plates, so a table can order several dishes and pass them around. Pad Thai and drunken noodles sit alongside the vegan chicken wings, and the vegetarian and vegan options run through the rest of the menu. Cocktails are a major part of the offer, with a set of house cocktails and a two-for-one-price deal on selected drinks. The dining room is small. The Designer Outlet is close by.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the food as delicious and authentic, with perfect portion sizes and quick service, and the drunken noodles draw a direct recommendation. Close behind are the duck spring rolls and the Pad Thai, along with the signature cocktails, which several enjoyed, including a two-for-one cocktail offer. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly and welcoming, and the menu is described as easy to choose from, with great vegetarian and vegan options. Complaints are few. One diner didn't like the vegan chicken wings, calling it personal preference, and another seated close to the kitchen on a hot day found it warm and sticky, though they put that down to the weather and suggested an outside table. The relaxed, cosy atmosphere gets repeated mention, and one reviewer followed their meal with a walk around Gloucester Quays Designer Outlet.

“Really enjoyed our visit! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was warm and cosy. We also enjoyed the 2 cocktails for £10 offer. Afterwards, we had a lovely walk around Gloucester Quays Designer Outlet. What a perfect day out.”
- Anna Bradshaw
“We were celebrating a family birthday and enjoyed the cocktails. Food was flavourful, especially the duck spring rolls. Pad Thai was lovely. The only dish we didn't like was the vegan chicken wings, but this was our personal preference, you may think they taste wonderful 😊”
