Sunday Lunch at Valley View Restaurant

[Evil Penevil]

The Valley View Restaurant is located in the countryside on the way to Ban Chang (more about its location later).

 

 

The surroundings are quite pleasant:

 

 

My "standard lunch" with four kinds of meat (beef, lamb, chicken and pork); four Yorkshire puddings; roast and mashed potatoes; vegetables and gravy:

 

At 295 baht, it's huge value for money in terms of the quality and QUANTITY of food.

 

The Yorkshires were perfect,  very light and just the right texture:

 

 

For once, a British restaurant that didn't overcook the vegetables.
 

 

 

The meats were good and of high quality. However, the group I was with (five people) arrived at Valley View at 4.00 p.m. and got the last plates of the day.  It would have been better to have arrived earlier.

There is also a jumbo version for 450 baht, but you'd have to be a trencherman epic proportions to put away that meal.

  There was one Thai lady in our party who had the beef stew rather than Sunday lunch.  It looked excellent and she was pleased with the taste.

My rhubarb pie with warm custard sauce.  

 

 

The sweetness of the custard complemented the tartness of the rhubarb very well, but I have to say, I prefer the fruit pies you get in the U.S.

 

 

Total cost for a very enjoyable and filling meal was 565 baht ( dinner 295; pie 115 baht and a can of Abbot's Ale 165 baht).  However, the location, about 45 minutes' drive from central Pattaya, means I won't be going back on a regular basis.  A shame, really, as I'd like to try some of the other dishes on Valley view's menu.  I couldn't begin to describe how to drive there, but you can find directions on the restaurant's Web site:  http://valleyview-restaurant.com.

I never had a Sunday roast with more Yorkshire puddings than spuds. It looks like you got a tablespoon of mash and tiny roasties

I think your comment is a little bit on the low side as the plate are massive and 1/3 is covered in veg.

 

What ever it looks like for sure it takes some eating....

 

There's more than you normally eat and i guess if you wanted a little more mash and roasties they would give you them as we was asked if everything was ok and would we like some more gravy...

 

So i can't see it been a problem..

Fair call mate!  A third meat, a third Veg and a third Yorkshire puddings!

Looks a good spread for what is just under £6 GBP. personally i would like a little bit more meat or veg than four yorkies, 3 is more than enough imo.Thanks for the review,Now i`ve got to find some transport when in town.
