The data platform for UK Thai restaurants
ThaiData UK is an independent data platform for UK Thai food. At its centre is a directory of 1,263 Thai food businesses across 254 cities — restaurants, takeaways and pub kitchens — built from the official Food Standards Agency register (as of October 2026, refreshed weekly). No reviews, no ratings from diners: just the facts from the inspection record, plus contact details, menus and hours restaurant owners manage themselves.
For owners: free calculators — staff costs, dish pricing and delivery commissions — and a claim flow to manage your own listing. Browse the owner tools →
What ThaiData is
ThaiData is a UK-wide Thai restaurant directory built on official Food Standards Agency (FSA) data plus our own city, chain, and pricing analysis. It's designed to give a clear, up-to-date picture of the UK Thai restaurant market rather than another review site.
- Directory — every Thai food business listed in FSA data, searchable by city, with hygiene ratings, inspection history and owner-managed details
- Research — market reports, chain profiles and guides researched from primary and Thai-language sources
- Owner tools — free calculators and checklists for running a Thai kitchen
How our pricing analysis is sourced
All pricing data is sourced from UK-based Thai wholesale suppliers and menu surveys across Thai restaurant chains and independents.
- Wholesale prices: JK Foods, Longdan, Thai Food Direct, Manning Impex, Midlands Food Service (Q1 2026)
- Menu price benchmarks: Giggling Squid, Rose's Thai, Busaba Eathai, Thai Square, Patara, Mango Tree, regional independents
- Minimum wage rates: UK Government official National Living Wage rates
- Platform commissions: Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat operator terms (2026)
Why ThaiData?
Thai cuisine is one of the UK's most established Asian cuisines, with 1,263 Thai food businesses listed in FSA data. Yet most operators still price dishes from memory and discover their real margins only when cash flow becomes a problem. ThaiData exists to change that.
Everything on this site is free. No signup. No credit card.
Who built this
ThaiData UK was built by Jonathan — UK-born Thai, UK-raised, with hands-on experience in hotel and restaurant operations. He previously worked with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (London) in IT and marketing, giving him a front-row view of the challenges facing Thai food businesses in the UK.
"Most small Thai restaurant owners are brilliant cooks but don't have time to crunch the numbers. ThaiData exists to change that."
— Jonathan, Founder
