We are over the moon to announce that The Begging Bowl will be re-opening from July the 4th with revised opening times.
New policies and procedures are now in place to maintain the safety of both our guests and staff alike. We have reduced the amount of tables in our restaurant to give plenty of space to abide the 1 metre distancing rule. Please be aware we are only taking bookings for parties of 6 guests or less. These groups must be limited to 2 household or of the same support bubble.
If you develop covid-19 symptoms or have been in contact with someone who has, please stay at home and follow government advise. We will happily re-arrange your booking!
Original Thai concept restaurant set in the heart of Peckham
On any foggy morning in Chiang Mai, the creeping scent of spices and sugar from street vendor stalls mingles with the approach of orange clad monks, chanting while they carry their alms pots.
The vessel – called a ‘begging bowl’ – is an important part of Thai culture hailing back to Buddhist traditions of making merit and the community spirit it inspires is fascinating to witness.
It is this ethos that we hope to embody in our own corner of South London.
To us, The Begging Bowl enshrines a sense of community, and of sharing, both with Peckham and the Thai friends and family which inspired our foundations.
