Title Beckons For Thai Restaurant

Surin Restaurant is a Finalist in the Kent Business Awards for Corporate Social Responsibility for its efforts to try and become a Green Tourism restaurant, and develop its community projects in Ramsgate and its Surin Village School Charity to build schools in Asia, Africa and South America.

The restaurant, which serves Thai, Laotian and Camboduan dishes, has been featured in this year's Lonely Planet Guidebook to England which said that Surin was: "the best Thai food this side of the Hindu Kush and...this darling little restaurant delivers&ldots; (great food) &ldots;only a dumpling's throw from the seafront".

They are also hoping that their 2 microbeers and 4 curry sauces will be expanded due to popular demand and are being considered for distribution by the main supermarkets.

Ramsgate also had a great review in the Guidebook: "more welcoming than jaded big sis Margate and livelier than twee little neighbour Broadstairs, Ramsgate is the kind of varied and often quirky little resort town that can appeal to all ages. With Blue Flag beaches, cosmopolitan bars and rich maritime history and neo-Georgian architecture with a terrific tourism centre."
