Co-owner
AND EXECUTIVE CHEF
BPUU
"I started cooking when I was 14,
trained initially by real street chefs.
I then worked for many years
perfecting the flavours of
Southern Thai food before
running kitchens of my own."
A MOVE TO THE UK
"After introducing Asian food to Children's
Centres in West Yorkshire,
I worked my first UK head chef position in a
successful restaurant in Leeds for three years.
The main feedback I always get -
and I think this is important
if a chef is to call their food 'authentic' -
is that I don't change my recipes
to suit western tastes.
How I cook for you is how I cook at home."
THE TINY THAI FAMILY
The Tiny Thai truly is a family venture,
created and run by both Bpuu and Paul,
and son Alf sometimes too!
We offer you a warm welcome to our table.
The team is now growing and we have
a friendly, personable crew, front and
back-of-house,to make our guests’
Tiny Thai experience EVEN BETTER!
HISTORY
Our first Cornwall project was a little trailer
parked outside Pop Gallery in Wadebridge,
selling delicious Southern Thai treats as takeaway.
Tiny Thai traded from this spot for two years;
in all weathers! During this time, we built up a healthy
local following; enough to feel that a more permanent
structure would work.
Which was great for us because two years
in a summer hot-box and winter freeze-box was
pretty tough, especially raising a young boy
at the same time.
And so was born The Tiny Thai, version two,
at 1a Molesworth street, Wadebridge
(currently our ONLY outlet).
We sold our trailer and opened in our lovely
permanent premises in June 2018 and haven’t
looked back since.
We’ve swapped the views of Lidl for views of the river;
long, cold winter nights for cosy central heating.
But we truly are very thankful for our trailer beginnings,
because without them we wouldn’t be where we are
now, able to carry on serving our unique, exciting
Southern Thai cuisine to all our fantastic customers
and friends who have supported us along the way.
STREET FOOD
At the Tiny Thai we keep the street-food feel.
It’s always the same chef, Bpuu, and the same
freshly-prepared food, in our warm, river-view
informal setting.
We’re part self-service, for instance, you can order
at the bar, which is a great way to make you feel part
of the place, and breaks with the conventions of
a more formal restaurant setting.
We’re not a huge restaurant, we’re ‘tiny’ remember!
We have limited kitchen staff and space,
so at very busy periods you may find you wait
a little longer for service. Please bear with us.
Our standards remain high;
we promise it will be worth the wait.
And you can enjoy our homely atmosphere
whilst anticipating the spicy delights to come.
OUR LOVE OF
NORTH CORNWALL
Bpuu, husband Paul and son Alf love the local life
of this beautiful coast and enjoy working and living
with the warm community.
We source as many ingredients as possible
using local suppliers and work as much as possible
to give back to the community.
