Banana Tree is well-known for pad Thai, ramen, katsu dishes and two-for-one cocktails.

Th new restaurant features South East Asian inspired artwork, a dedicated bar area, and an ‘open kitchen’, so guests can book tables in front of the wok station and watch the chefs in action.

Tuk-tuks will be around Stevenage during the launch week, to give out free samples of Banana Tree’s award-winning dishes.

Banana Tree handpicks dishes from Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia to feature on its menu, from soups and salads, to wok-tossed noodles, stir fries and curries, as well as South East Asia-inspired desserts and cocktails. 

Banana Tree's marketing director, Tom Patrick, said: "We’re really excited to open our new restaurant in Stevenage, and it’s our first location in a leisure park, so we know we’ll be perfect for pre or post cinema dining, or just as a great food destination.

"We also have a dedicated bar space where you can sip on our two-for-one mocktails and cocktails, pre or post dining."

Banana Tree's managing director, Kate Wilton, added: "We are thrilled to be opening our 21st restaurant in Stevenage.

"We’re looking forward to becoming a firm favourite in the area, and can’t wait to show the people of Stevenage what we have to offer."
