The history of Camile Thai
For Camile Thai, fresh ingredients and food prepared with care have been the focus since day one, alongside crucial values like sustainability and community. The brand came into being in 2010 and has expanded rapidly in the past decade, thanks in part to the company’s business acumen and practices and in much larger part to the deliciously more-ish Camile Thai dishes being served first in Ireland and now across the UK, too. Camile has developed a strong customer base, and this base is growing each day.
Camile Thai is also a hugely innovative and groundbreaking business, unafraid to try new things and get ahead of the curve. From ambitious sustainability initiatives to pioneering the use of hot food drone delivery in Europe, the sky really is the limit for this franchise. If you choose to invest and join Camile Thai’s expanding network, the sky could be the limit for you, too.
We only use fully compostable packaging and implement ways to lower our carbon footprint. We create delicious dishes, served in environmentally conscious packaging as we endeavour to give our guests the best experience whilst causing no harm to our planet. We [also] create innovative food that is perfectly tailored to holding its heat and quality during delivery [and] our innovation stretches beyond the restaurant, having partnered with Manna to become the world leader in drone delivery for food.
