Recent work has given rise to a novel and simple numerical technique for solving elliptic boundary value problems formulated in convex polygons in two dimensions. The method, based on the unified transform, involves expanding the unknown boundary values in a Legendre basis and determining the expansion coefficients by evaluating the so-called global relation at appropriate points in the complex Fourier plane (spectral collocation). In this paper we provide a significant advancement of this numerical technique by providing a fast and efficient method to evaluate the solution in the domain interior. The use of a Legendre basis allows the relevant integrals to be computed efficiently and accurately using Chebyshev interpolation, even for large degree. For the particular case of the Laplace equation this allows an explicit expansion in the domain interior in terms of hypergeometric functions. Evaluation in the interior is found to converge more rapidly than the approximation of the unknown boundary values, allowing accurate approximation of solutions with weak corner singularities. For stronger singularities, the method can be combined with global singular functions for rapid convergence. Numerical examples are provided, showing that the method compares well against standard spectral methods and opens up the possibility of applying the method to general curvilinear domains.
