Quick info
About Nascot Arms
Nascot Arms is a pub on Stamford Rd in Watford that houses a Thai restaurant alongside the regular bar, with the two run by separate staff and settled on separate checks. Live TV sports plays on the pub side, while the kitchen serves Thai soups, curries and noodle dishes. Starters include prawn tempura, tom kha soup and prawn toast, and chicken garlic and peppers with rice is one of the mains. The pub opens daily and takes walk-ins rather than reservations. Portions run generous, often enough for a takeaway box afterward.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly highlight the tom kha soup and prawn tempura as standouts, with the Ga pao kai daw and roasted duck in red curry also praised for tasting authentically Thai. The pub and Thai restaurant share one space but issue separate checks, something one reviewer noted without complaint. Portions run generous, service is called friendly, and several diners say they'll return.

“Lovely dinner this eve! We were a group of 8 and ordered a range of starters and mains. All were cooked to perfection. I had the prawn tempura and sea bass special. Delicious and portions so generous we got takeaway boxes... will have enough for lunch tmrw! Staff friendly.”

“Hidden gem. Authentic Thai food inside the Nascot Arms with a unique setup of pub on one side and Thai restaurant on the other. Drinks are handled by the pub staff and food by the restaurant staff, so you get two checks at the end which we had no issues with (you do you boo). We had prawn toast and tom kha with chicken to start and both were delicious. The tom kha was bursting with flavor, the chicken was really good quality, and it instantly gave me confidence the rest of the meal would be amazing. For mains the Ga pao kai daw with fried egg and the roasted duck in red curry sauce tasted like being back in Thailand. Two starters and two mains were only £45 which is incredible value for the quality and flavor. Great service and cozy atmosphere, we will definitely be back.”

“Food was simply awesome. The Resturant is situated inside a pub and it was very busy when we went. Friendly service by the staff and food arrived on time. Definitely going back there again to try out new dishes. Thank you for a great experience!”

“A little bit of a gem. This place is actually two in one. On the one hand we have the Nascot Arms …”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing dining experience at this Thai restaurant! The Prawn Tom Yum Soup was bursting with flavors—spicy, tangy, and absolutely delicious. The Prawn Tempura was perfectly crispy and light, making it a delightful appetizer. For the main course, we enjoyed the Chicken Garlic and Peppers with Rice, which was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of garlic and spice. Overall, every dish was delicious, and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and tasty Thai cuisine!”
