Went to Café Thai with my dad and sister. We all ordered the sweet and sour chicken with jasmine rice and sticky rice. The food was good, freshly made, and we had no issues at all with the meal. It wasn’t the absolute best Thai food I’ve ever had, but it was still tasty and enjoyable. A nice place for a good meal – definitely worth 4 stars.

☎️ Booking: The online booking was easy to do. The website isn’t the easiest to navigate. There are two restaurants on the webpage to the downstairs venue on the street and to the Tapas venue which we booked – this is upstairs above the (old) main shop which I now think has moved a smaller takeaway premises 3 or 4 shop windows adjacent to the building.
We booked online, and then I hadn’t realised I booked the wrong day. Thankfully, the restaurant called me up when I thought I was arriving and happily changed to the correct day. Very polite and friendly. Excellent first impression
♂️ Arrival: We felt like a spare part as we arrived upstairs, standing by the till. There was no one there to say hello, and welcome us, even though the space was small. Easily fixed with a simple, “Hello. Sorry. One minute and I’ll be with you…” is all it takes to make a customer feel welcome. The restaurant had two busy tables when we arrived (Friday 5PM) and it was full when we left (6.30).
When we were greeted, the waitress ‘waved’ us to the table with a ‘silent hand gesture’ – that way – and we had to find the table ourselves. Again, table service easily fixed with a “Let me show you your table.” It takes 10 seconds.
Table: We booked a table for three, and we sat on a raised sitting/table area by the window. They have lovely red brickwork, but because it was the winter, there was small bits of unpointed brickwork which let small drafts of cold air through, so it was actually quite cold to sit there.
In true Thai style, you have a spoon and fork to eat with – no knife – with a napkin. No table sauces sadly.
️ Service: One of the waitresses was fantastic. She made us feel very welcome and talked us through the menu. Nothing was too much trouble. She celebrated each dish and offered recommendations when we needed it. Overall, the table service was excellent but it could be improved by reducing the amount of different waitresses coming to our table asking us the same questions: “Can I take this?” “Are you ready for XYZ?” All very well considered, but easily fixed by the restaurant if assigning one person to a table.
Food: the food was stunning! It was a great choice, plenty for children to eat, and authentic Thai/spicy quality. It was always interesting to watch the chef cook the food, traditional Thai kitchen with lots of cooks, made in seconds, and delivered in true Tapas style – as and when ready. When the dishes were cooked in the kitchen, wasn’t busy, all the cooks would just simply stand there and chat, which is funny, and if you understand Thai culture, that’s how they do it, but as a business, it’s probably not conducive for productivity. There was one waitress who kept popping behind the kitchen and eating for all to see. Whilst this is harmless, I don’t think it’s hygienic or good for customers to see.
The only thing I didn’t like – despite eating them all – was being asked if we wanted some prawn crackers. A small bowl for £2.50 is a steep addition when really these could be complimentary in the grand scheme of things considering how cheap they are to make.
However, the food was fantastic. I’ve been to Thailand 12/15 times and loved the rural culture.
It’s probably one of the best restaurants in terms of taste and cuisine we have tried in the area.
Drinks: All the usual things on offer; draft beer and spirits. Although my wife was disappointed when they didn’t have Gordons gin in stock.
Value: we left £30 deposit online, which wasn’t itemised on the bill, but we were told (thankfully I asked) that this would only be used if the customer doesn’t turn up and refunded to the bank account.
Two adults + one child, we spent £104 on lots ~10 dishes and 3 drinks. Our table was full of dishes; we didn’t finish them all. We were stuffed and carried 3 dishes home.
I’m super interested in food and service. I want to see local businesses succeed. Despite my detailed review, this was a great evening/food.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Overall, fantastic food and we will go again!

Generally a lovely place to go to, staff are great. Food is really good.
Only improvement would be the flow of dishes coming out of kitchen as we ordered about 8 or so tapas and they all basically were on table at once.

So I’m about to hit 2 million photo views on Google Maps, very fitting it’s here. Great service, great food, highly recommend. Not sure about the random onion ring on my prawns but let’s not quibble lol edit 12th May 2023 – another visit, cracking food and service again!

The food was unbelievable. The flavours, the presentation and the taste was absolutely unreal. 14/10 if I could score it personally. The atmosphere was lovely and lively. I cannot recommend this absolute hidden gem enough. If you like Thai food then you have to try it, it was genuinely the most authentic, beautiful Thai food I’ve had in a long time! Well done cafe Thai

Authentic Thai cuisine. We enjoyed the set meal for four at £20 per person. Food plentiful and very tasty. We shared four starters and five mains with portions of fried rice and jasmine rice. The set meal also included a soft drink or coffee/tea. Great value. Staff friendly and attentive which helped to make a great night out.

Great Food, Appalling Atmosphere & Absent Management.
We used to love this restaurant, but our recent visit was a disaster. We booked for 5 PM on a Saturday to celebrate a birthday, hoping to miss the brunch crowd. Instead, we were seated next to an incredibly loud bottomless brunch party that made our meal unbearable. We couldn’t hear each other speak, and the group’s behaviour—including foul language and constant moving around brushing past us ruined the entire evening. Our request to move was met with an unworkable offer (we’d have to give the table back in 45 minutes). When we finally complained to our waitress, she informed the manager. The manager’s response was to leave the building. Leaving the waitress to tell us nothing could be done because the manager had “gone home” is a shocking abdication of responsibility. In the end a 10% discount to the bill was essentially a free drink. Unfortunately we will not be back, as I wouldn’t want to run the risk of a similar experience. I understand this probably won’t be 99% of people’s experience, but be aware it can happen.

If you love Thai food then this is the place to try! We liked the idea of serving the different dishes as tapas as that way you get a little taste of all the fabulous dishes, quite a few of the little tasters are quite hot though so keep an eye out for those chillies . They do serve main meals too but didn’t sample them on this visit.
