Cocktails on Rochester’s High Street
Before diving into the food, Limehouse Thai’s brand-new cocktail menu deserves attention. Classics like the Mai Tai and Sex on the Beach sit alongside Thai-inspired options, making it easy to start your evening with something refreshing. It’s the kind of place where ordering a cocktail before even opening the food menu feels like the right decision.
Starters at Limehouse Thai: Duck Spring Rolls and Mussels
To start, we ordered duck spring rolls and mussels steamed with lemongrass. The spring rolls were perfectly crisp and came with a plum sauce for dipping. The mussels had that fragrant hit of lemongrass and just enough chilli to keep things lively. Both were instant favourites and set the tone for the rest of the night.
Pad Thai and Tiger Prawns: Local Favourites in Rochester
When it comes to Thai restaurants, Pad Thai is always the test dish. At Limehouse Thai, it’s done exactly as it should be: sweet, savoury, and perfectly balanced with beansprouts, peanuts, and egg. Alongside it, we had the chargrilled butterfly tiger prawns. They were massive — butterflied, cooked over flame, and served with a dipping sauce so good you’ll want to keep it to yourself.
Thai Curries with Authentic Flavour
If curries are your go-to, Limehouse Thai has you covered. The Green Curry is vibrant and fiery, made with green chillies and coconut milk. The Red Curry blends aromatic herbs like lime leaves and galangal for a rich kick. For something milder, the Yellow Curry is full of flavour without the heat, while the Massaman Curry is slow-cooked with coconut milk, cinnamon, and star anise, topped with cashews for extra depth. With options for chicken, pork, beef, king prawns, or vegetables, there’s something for everyone.
A Thai Restaurant in Rochester for Every Occasion
Beyond the food, the restaurant itself is stunning. The warm lighting, stylish decor, and relaxed atmosphere make it perfect for special occasions. Planning something bigger? Limehouse Thai also has the capacity to host company meals and private parties, so whether it’s a birthday, team night out, or family get-together, there’s plenty of space to celebrate.
Vegetarian, Vegan, and Gluten-Free Thai Food in Rochester
One of the best things about Limehouse Thai is its variety. Alongside seafood and meat dishes, you’ll find plenty of vegetarian and vegan options like Pad Pak (stir-fried mixed vegetables in soya sauce), Spicy Aubergine stir fry, or tofu dishes with garlic, cashews, or chilli and basil. Many dishes can also be made gluten-free, making it a restaurant that works for everyone at the table.
