"Come for the view. Stay for the roast. Leave as family."
What started as a dream in the middle of Ao Nang has become one of the most loved spots on the Krabi coast. Peter and Pookie built Risky Business from the ground up — and the soul of this place shows in every plate that leaves the kitchen.
Every morning, Peter opens the doors early. Every evening, Pookie is planning tomorrow's menu — sourcing the freshest local ingredients, dialling in recipes that have made grown adults stop mid-conversation and say: "This might be the best meal I've had anywhere."
That's not marketing. That's what the reviews say.
Guests from across the globe have called it the best roast dinner they've ever had. Pookie's Sunday roast is built on locally sourced meat, fresh-from-the-market vegetables, and a kitchen that treats every plate like it matters. Because it does.
Deep fried Atlantic Pollack in crisp batter, served with fries, mushy peas and homemade tartare sauce. A British classic done properly.
250g Australian Picanha, truffle salted, served with salad or grilled vegetables. The premium choice — and worth every baht.
Fried eggs, sausages, black pudding, baked beans, mushroom, hash brown and tomato. Served with toast. The full works, every morning.
Crispy breaded chicken, rich tomato sauce, melted mozzarella. Served with fries or spaghetti marinara. A crowd favourite every single service.
No shortcuts. No frozen deliveries. No compromise on quality. Pookie sources every ingredient from local producers and markets — whatever is freshest that morning shapes what goes on the table that evening.
Every ingredient comes from local Krabi suppliers and fresh markets. Supporting the community while ensuring the highest quality on your plate.
Pookie designs tomorrow's menu based on what's freshest today. Every day is a new menu, not a repeat of yesterday.
From the pastry on the pies to the roast potatoes on Sunday — every element of every dish is made in our kitchen, by our team.
Pookie is in the kitchen. Every day. That's not something you find at most restaurants — it's something you taste in every dish.
Risky Business sits alongside iRest Ao Nang — a hotel and hostel run by the same family. Stay next door and walk straight in for breakfast, Sunday roast, and live sport every night. It's the full Ao Nang experience in one place.
The biggest Australian celebration outside of Australia — and Risky Business goes all in. Every 26th of January we open our doors for one of the most memorable days on the Ao Nang calendar.
It's more than a party. Every year, Peter and Pookie dedicate the day to raising money for charity — giving back to the communities that have made their lives in Thailand so special. Come for the food, the drinks, and the craic. Stay for something that actually means something.
