Floyd in Phuket
Floyd - in Phuket
phuket gazette
Published on May 29, 2008
After a more than a year spent flying between Phuket and the UK since opening Floyd's Brasserie in 2007, Keith Floyd has decided to make Phuket his permanent home.
Renowned for his enthusiastic, boisterous approach to introducing international cuisine to the masses through television shows and cookbooks, the legendary British chef has decided to settle in Phuket.
A household name in the UK, Keith has laid his pen to rest after writing 32 cookbooks, many of which have accompanied his string of continental cooking shows.
Keith decided to make Phuket his permanent home so that he can continue running Floyd's Brasserie at the Burasari Resort, Patong, and finalise plans for a new Floyd's Brasserie in Singapore.
Restaurant in Singapore
"I plan to use Phuket as a base from which to operate. At the moment, we are actively researching the possibility of opening a new Floyd's restaurant in Singapore. Being based here will enable me to easily go back and forth," he said.
At 64 years old, Keith's
obsession with food is as fiery as ever, as those who have
ever worked with him will attest to.
Britons will miss his television shows and books, which began with the programme Floyd on Fish way back in 1984.
From then on, Keith's career as a celebrity chef took off, leading him to cook on every continent before eventually choosing Phuket in 2007 to establish his first brasserie.
"The new restaurant in Singapore will be very much a Floyd thing, similar to the one in Phuket. Seafood will be one of the main focuses."
And why did he decide to make Phuket his home?
"The lifestyle is so much easier here and the people
I work with here are so
attentive, always making sure I'm all right, asking if I've
eaten," he said.

Just did and I feel rather sheepish now....
I thought it would be a Pink Floyd thread as well but I was really hoping it was a Floyd the Barber thread.
Disappointed that it's about some guy who opened a biz in Phuket.
Z, I've never heard of him before. But then, luckily, I'm not a Brit.

I would rather watch him cook than eat his food.

That's great news. I'm a big Keith Floyd fan. Never eaten in one of his restaurants; don't they usually go bust
Heard a story about him once. There were some customers in his restaurant who were being really rude, so Floyd and one of the waiters marched over to their table, picked it up and put it outside.
Anyone who'd do something like that is all right by me.
که خدای وغواړی
I love his shows, and I'd love to meet the man in person. Almost worth making a special trip to Phuket just to do it.
If I could do it all over again, I'd do it all over you.
