Vegan & gluten free Thai in Keswick
Eating plant-based or avoiding gluten doesn't shrink the menu at Star of Siam. Every curry, stir fry and noodle dish can be made with tofu (£11.95) or mixed vegetables (£10.95), and because everything is cooked fresh to order, the kitchen adapts dishes rather than pointing you at a short "special" list.
The one rule: always tell us about allergies or dietary needs when you book or order — call 017687 71444 if you'd like to talk it through first.
What can vegans eat here?
Start with the vegetarian starters — Veg Tempura (£7.00), Veg Spring Rolls (£7.50), Veg Gyoza (£7.50), Tung Tong (£7.50) — or the Veg Platter to share. Tom Yum and Tom Kha soups both come in a mushroom version, and the Papaya Salad is a fresh, fiery classic.
For mains, pick any curry — green, red, yellow, massaman, panang, jungle or pineapple — or any stir fry or noodle dish, and choose tofu or mixed veg as your protein. Ask for it vegan and the kitchen swaps out fish sauce, oyster sauce and egg.
How gluten free works in a Thai kitchen
Thai food is naturally kinder to gluten free diets than most cuisines — steamed jasmine rice, sticky rice and rice noodles carry the menu. Curries, soups and salads are rice-based territory, and dishes like Pad Thai use rice noodles.
Nothing here is batch-cooked, so the kitchen can adjust sauces and ingredients dish by dish. Tell us you're gluten free and we'll tell you honestly what works and what to skip. Browse the full menu with prices to plan ahead.
