Sukanya, Station Road, Denham: I wish it was nearer home

8th July.
I had a business group meeting in Harefield, and this place was suggested for a post-meeting get together. On a wet Tuesday night in July, we were in a pretty empty place. There are quite a few restaurants in Denham, which may get lunchtime business from the business parks nearby. There are actually two Thai restaurants in the immediate area (forgot to say it is Thai) and I don't know why this one was suggested in favour of the other, but I am glad it was.
It is not an inspiring place,and was so dimly lit, that it might have been closed. There were only a couple of other tables occupied, one of which was the staff. There is little to learn about the place from the internet, and the best information comes from TripAdvisor, and seem accurate enough http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g616258-d4093645-Reviews-Sukanya_Thai_Restaurant-Denham_Buckinghamshire_England.html  .There is nothing unusual about the menu and it is pretty standard stuff.
I was with a colleague who did not have any particular needs, and so to keep things simple we went for the set menu A, at just under £20 each (very fair price I thought). You can either have soup or a plate of hot starter, which is what we went for:
Again, pretty standard stuff with the prawns in batter, spring roll, prawn toast, but also some ribs that cannot be seen and some chicken thighs. Hot  and tasty with suitable sauces.
The main selection was also fairly standard stuff with a green chicken curry, beef, vegetables, prawn and fragrant rice. This was also big quantity, tasty, and all the dishes were hot scoring about 8.8 on the CHOF scale. Service was a little slow, but that did not matter. The staff were very pleasant, and were it not for the fact that this is an inconvenient location for north London, I would definitely go there again. Recommended. The set meal for two, including coffee was about £20 which was extremely reasonable, and a bit less than average.
