Tropical Bert’s have been on the hunt for the perfect
pork pie and sausage and think we may have found it from a small supplier in
Bangkok (as near to a Melton Mowbray Pie as you will get are many of our
customers comments). Sunday Lunch has also got better - have as many choices
of meat as you wish and if you want more just ask. It’s not a carvery so it’s
served hot and fresh and remains the same price, 250 Bt for 3 courses. To the
many customers who are enquiring about our Christmas Dinner I am afraid
we are fully booked for all sittings, the early bird catches the worm so they
say! Tropical Bert’s: 2nd Road Opp Bangkok Bank, Soi 6 Branch.
