It echoes Klook (to stir/mix food) and Krok (mortar), both central to Thai cooking.

We wanted something that sounded real - raw and punchy, but with a twist.

Kruk also plays on the English word ‘crook’ - a nod to London's gritty charm, its edge.

No actual crooks allowed though, just good people and big flavours by hook or kruk

ครุก Kruk might not be the textbook Thai spelling but it feels right.
