Itsy Bitsy Thai

If you're after a decent Thai near Birkdale, Itsy Bitsy Thai in Scarisbrick is worth a shout. It’s got a solid 4.6 stars from over 260 reviews, so people seem pretty happy. It's not dirt cheap, somewhere in the ££ range, but the portions are a good size. I quite like the Pad See Ew – always hits the spot.

The place itself is fairly small and cosy, so it’s good for both couples and families, though maybe not massive groups. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. It's not fine dining, but it's a nice spot for a casual tea out. They're open every night except Monday from 4:30pm until 9pm, so it's handy for a late bite.

They do all the usual Thai dishes you'd expect, and the staff are always sound. It's a dependable choice if you’re in the area and fancy something a bit different from pub grub.

Give them a ring on 01704 790068, especially if you're planning on going on a Friday or Saturday, as it gets busy. Booking's probably a wise move to avoid disappointment.
