This is not your usual cafe. Half of the menu on this cafe is traditional English whilst other half is Thai. Yes. Thai. That's because the owner is English, and the wife is Thai. As you can guess, the husband takes side of the English dishes and the wife makes excellent Thai curries.

Thai curry dishes are around Â£6.50 â¬ Â£8, comes with Jasmine Rice with choice of beef, chicken or prawns. The dim sum dumplings are worth getting. It comes with a sweet soy dipping sauce. I also like the mini spring rolls, that comes with a sweet chili dipping sauce.

English dishes wise, has the stable builder's breakfast and various of sandwiches. Excellent cuppa. They're mostly opened for the morning and lunch crowd. Closed after 16:30. Cash only.This is not your usual cafe. Half of the menu on this cafe is traditional English whilst other half is Thai. Yes. Thai. That's because the owner is English, and the wife is Thai.

It makes me hungry just to think about it.

I'd passed by many times, and then came across a review of it on Russell Davies' Egg Bacon Chips and Beans blog. It looked quite cute from the outside, and he raved about the chips, so I hoodwinked my wife into a Saturday morning trip on the way to pick up our car from round the corner - after a disappointing meal at Snows on the Green the night before.

It was magnificent. Partly because of the decor - wood cladding/panelling outside with a 50s style sign, net curtains (white and fresh) in the huge windows, sticky rubbery carpet inside and 50s colours that are almost fashionable again. It's still got a local working class vibe, but the staff and the customers were very unchippy - unlike the food: a perfectly cooked chip mountain.

It laid me out for the rest of the day, but it was worth it. Majestic gluttony.

Louche started with ambitions that it's had to let slide a little... But it still serves good breakfasts and lunches, and the lattes and cappucinos are magic. One of the staff - the blonde girl - doesn't yet have the magic touch with the coffee, but the guy and the other girl nail it every time.Louche started with ambitions that it's had to let slide a little...
