The Thai Corner Cafe


Recommended Posts

Don't really think the thai corner cafe needs anyone raving about it but it was an absolute delight to bring my Mum up to check it out a couple of weekends ago. Probably some of the best Thai food I've had outside of Thailand and such lovely staff. Just as good takeaway service too and a ridiculously good price. Worth booking as it's so busy!!!

In my experience (and I have been to Thailand), sadly the Thai Corner Cafe IS the westernised version of Thai food.


It has been very variable since it opened, but I finally stopped going there after I had a dish which tasted like watery marmite :( I would be delighted if it really has improved - have they got a new chef perhaps?


If you want really excellent Thai food locally, the Begging Bowl in Bellenden Road is the place to go, in my opinion. More expensive than the Thai Corner Cafe, but worth every penny.


Sadly I've only been able to afford to go there once, on my partner's birthday :(

I have only been The TCC once. When it first opened..


Was not impressed. Was Very expensive very crowded. virtually sitting on each others laps.


Food was no better that the Supermarket Thai Selection packages.


You know. 12 Thai spring rolls/ 12 Tempura battered king prawns / Thai green/red curry kits.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
