Nestled within the Oxfordshire countryside amongst working farmlands, Hom Thai at Crazy Bear Stadhampton is a Thai restaurant set within the eclectic Crazy Bear hotel. Within the grounds, you’ll also find the British restaurant Oak, a Terrace area for summer dining (including food from Hom Thai), and a pub too. At Hom Thai, however, you can expect to find a very cosy dining room with wood-panelled walls, leafy wallpaper, velvet green seats and comfortable leather banquettes. It really is quite elegant.
As for the Hom Thai Stadhampton menus, we'd suggest you start with a few appetisers to share. Options include chicken satay marinated in golden turmeric and mild spices and matched with a peanut sauce; summer rolls packed with tofu, cucumber, baby gem, candy beetroot, and vermicelli; vegetable gyoza with soy dipping sauce; sticky pork ribs; and duck spring rolls. Throughout, you'll find plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options.
Main courses stretch from tasty meat, fish, and vegetable dishes to familiar favourites like curries, noodles and rice. The Chef's Specials include a whole host of familiar favourites, including lamb shank massaman served on the bone, steamed seabass in a soy chilli and lemon sauce, sea bass panang curry with kaffir lime leaces and coriander; and melt in the mouth slow cooked pork belly braised with aromatics and palm sugar.
Stir fry dishes offer choices like roasted cashew nut pad met ma miuang, sweet and sour ped priew wan, and spicy Thai basil pad ka proa, while you'll also find classic curries like red, green, and massaman, which can be customised with your choice of protein. Tag on some sides like pad Thai or khao pad rice and finish with something sweet, be it homemade ice cream, coconut sticky rice, or Thai roti.
