“A lot of customers have been excited about coming back” – Thai restaurant to reopen at Gorey Pier using food truck

A POPULAR Thai eatery is set to reopen on Gorey Pier next month – this time using a food truck – after an electrical issue stopped it from operating from its usual building earlier this year.
Tuk Tuk Thai has been closed since February, after water leaked in and damaged the main fuse board at the Ports of Jersey-owned property.
In May, owner Theo Wansaram told the JEP he had been informed by Ports that the problem could cost more than £100,000 to resolve.
At the time, Harbourmaster Captain Bill Sadler explained that while “some improvements” could be made, more extensive works would require “significant investment” and “would not fully resolve the wider issues with the building”, including water ingress.
However, Captain Sadler also stated that Ports was “committed to continuing to work positively” with Tuk Tuk Thai “to review future opportunities at Gorey”.
In a recent update, Mr Wansarat said that the business was planning to reopen at the same location, but with a food truck instead.
He explained that power arrangements were still being finalised but that he hoped the reopening would happen around the middle of July.
“A lot of customers have been excited about coming back,” he added.
Mr Wansarat noted that the seating area will remain available and that, while cooking from a food truck could be challenging in terms of space, he was “looking forward to it”.
Gorey Pier is currently subject to works that will see the deteriorating landing stage removed as part of a wider project by Ports to stabilise the historic structure.
