A Thai restaurant that opened in Ramsgate in 2019 has been so successful that they have moved to a bigger venue in Westwood.

The Thai Village Restaurant and Bar is run by Nam who is a Thai born chef, mother and wife who uses her skills to create Thai suburban village-style flavours.

The restaurant has made the move to the former Chiquito site and is open today (December 31).

Nam said: “We had so many customers we needed a bigger kitchen.”

And now Nam wants to take on extra staff and says  enthusiasm and a willingness to learn is more important than qualifications.

Nam is looking for a chef who she is happy to train on the job and she will guide them through their hygiene certificates. She is also looking for front of house staff and a kitchen porter.

It is understood the former Thai Village site in Harbour Street will be taken over by boxing trainer Connor Gorham – who has been helping Ramsgate’s Joe Shaw continue his journey of recovery following a brutal attack in 2018. He will be opening a Fitness Kitchen at the site in the Spring.
