Occupying half of the Black Dog pub in Crawley, The Thai Star is an informal and congenial restaurant serving a spicy array of authentic Thai cuisine. Tangy dishes such as tamarind fish and king prawn chilli mingle with sharing platters on the extensive menu, with an express lunchtime menu and set options for those in a hurry. The atmosphere is cheerful and welcoming, and there's a comprehensive wine list to round things off.
