Battersea Power Station

The third Thai restaurant from JKS and Luke Farrell set to open in Battersea Power station will pay tribute to the enchanting mountains and jungles surrounding Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand.

Luke has spent over 15 years in Thailand, and training and working in kitchens across South East Asia. Alongside his extensive culinary learnings, over the years he has also acquired hundreds of cuttings and seeds which he has cultivated back at his own nursery, Ryewater, in Dorset. This has allowed him to dutifully grow and recreate his favourite regional cuisines of Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, India and China. Plaza Khao Gaeng, Luke’s debut restaurant is a celebration of Southern Thai cuisine and Speedboat bar transports you to the bustling late-night canteens of Bangkok’s own Chinatown.
