Thatched House Pub Menu

Thatched House Pub blends a lively British pub atmosphere with a distinctive East African food menu. Guests can choose from nyama choma, grilled tilapia, curries, ugali, kienyeji, sukuma wiki, burgers, sandwiches, wings, all-day breakfast, desserts, beer, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. The charcoal-style Nyama Choma and whole fried tilapia are signature choices, while recent diners also recommend fried meat with ugali and grilled chicken.

Prices are approachable, with starters and sandwiches around £4–£6, familiar pub meals from roughly £5.50–£11, and substantial grilled meat or fish dishes at approximately £16–£23. Generous proteins and filling traditional sides provide solid value, especially for relaxed dinners and shared meals.

Grilled meats bring smoky richness, while fresh onions, kachumbari, cabbage, plantain, collard greens, and maize-based ugali add freshness, gentle sweetness, and contrasting texture. Vegetarian options include soup, cheese salad, plantain, roasted potatoes, kachumbari, and plain ugali, although the selection is limited. Gluten-free dishes are not identified, so ingredients and cross-contact should be confirmed. Chicken nuggets, burgers, chips, and ice cream suit children. With an all-day breakfast, late opening hours, event space, music, and group tables, the pub works for breakfast, lunch, dinner, parties, and late-night gatherings.

Menu Highlights

Tilapia with Plantain and Salad
Whole fried tilapia has crisp skin and moist, flaky flesh, served with gravy, sweet plantain, and refreshing salad. Its generous presentation makes it one of the pub’s most recommended dishes.

Nyama Choma
Lamb is barbecued until smoky and richly browned while remaining tender inside. This classic East African speciality stands out for its straightforward seasoning and satisfying meatiness.

Choma with Ugali or Kienyeji
Grilled meat is paired with firm maize meal or a soft mash of potatoes, peas, and sweetcorn. The hearty combination offers excellent texture and traditional comfort.

Kuku Choma
A whole barbecued chicken arrives with chips and salad, creating a generous centrepiece for sharing. The juicy meat and charred exterior make it ideal for group dining.

Sukuma Wiki with Ugali
Chopped kale or collard greens, beef, and maize meal form a nourishing, savoury plate. It stands out as a balanced introduction to East African home-style cooking.

All-Day Breakfast
Egg, bacon, sausage, tomato, beans, and chips create a familiar British pub plate with varied textures. Its filling portion makes it suitable for breakfast, brunch, or a casual midday meal.
