Fantastic food, great scenery. easily the best place in a 10 mile radius. Great outside and sheltered seating. Good for a couple pints or a three course meal.

Parking on the venue is a little questionable - we had to park in the overflow car park which was super bumpy and unlit, which resulted in me stepping in a muddy puddle right before dinner and having to eat with a soaking right foot :D Atmosphere in the bus is quite nice, however the seats are really small so it was a bit cramped as a party of three. Whenever the windows were opened it was incredibly cold (especially with a wet foot). Cocktails are definitely overpriced for what they are, and the mocktail versions we asked for were a little questionable. Food was tasty, however a bit too adjusted to British taste. My sirloin steak was amazing and the sauce had a good taste and stinging spice levels, but the vegetables tasted really flat and reminded me on freezer veg. All in all a solid meal in a funky venue if you're not expecting authentic Thai food.

Took my man for a birthday treat here. Parking was a little confusing but nothing stressful. We were instantly taken to where we needed to go and served with options on our food arriving. So if we wanted our starter and main together so we can enjoy all our food. We didn't. We both enjoyed out starter. So lovely. And fresh. The main was even better. Crispy beef for me and the hubby got a noodles dish. We were trying each other's as the flavours were amazing. The staff were so very kind, topping our drinks. Asking If we needed anything throughout our time. Even checking the footie results for us. We then payed and took our drinks off the bus and went for a little stroll around the lake. It wasn't busy so was offered the teepee or the globe if we wernt comfortable on the bus as we arrived but the bus was fun. We're now thinking of having a bigger party as the globes seem big enough for maybe around 8 to 10 people. It's sheltered where the bar is along with some of the teepees you can hire so if a bad day in weather you can still enjoy. Highly recommend for a quirky meal out.

We did have a problem finding the place. When you enter wood lakes there is a carpark for cars and mini bus etc and various signs. We couldn't see a sign for Pan Asia but saw a sign with similar logo for Asia Kitchen so figured it must be that. We parked up and walked followed the signage to a building which was clearly under construction. After walking back we went to reception and asked there, the lady showed us where to go and pointed out a mini bus had parked infront of the signs. As we were now late we drove and found there is limited parking. We were soon seated with a choice of outside pods. Service was good soon having our drinks order taken then our choice of meals. My starter came out wrong but was soon replaced with the correct dish. Mains were very nice. We didn't have to wait long for anything. The pods are laid out for 4 people but would be a little tight, it's just right for two people. There is a light, heater and sockets with USB in the pods. Pricing is slightly above avarage. Location is nice, luckily the weather as nice.

My partner and I were staying at the Woodlakes Retreat and booked in for our evening meal at the Liv Pan Asia. Incredible atmosphere, and amazing seating (we had an intimate pod outside by the lake). The food was 10/10, we had the duck springrolls and ribs to start; followed by the honey duck (she likes her duck...) and the crispy chicken and rice for me, all beautiful. The staff were also amazing, so friendly and welcoming; and their cocktails were fantastic! Thank you to everyone there

Very bumpy track in the car to get there, parking was a little disorganised as people seemed to just abandon there cars wherever they could, but once arrived and found somewhere suitable to park we was very impressed with everything Liv Pan Asia had to offer. The food was incredible we sat in the bus for our food, which was lovely and warm and very nicely set out. Great service will definitely going back

The atmosphere is so good with the water front view, chalets, bubble pods, double-decker styled bus restaurant and outdoor cubicles, very creative design of the environment. The food was also great with the exception of the sweet and sweet-and-sour based meals, they were too sugary. Other meals were so damn great, the duck, ribs, noodles, prawns, dumplings and spring rolls were excellent. The spring rolls are the best I've ever had across all 4 regions I've been to - North America, Africa, Europe and Middle East.
