La Rascasse 63 High Street

[niallmac1962]

I have lived in West Wickham and Beckenham for most of my life.

Moved from West Wickham to Beckenham in about 1979.

I quite often visit La Rascasse.

We were there this Lunchtime with my  mother and we were trying to remember

a) How long has it been there ( I reckon at least 15 years ) ?
b) What was there before ? My mum reckons another restaurant but I can't remember ...

Thanks if anyone can help.

It was originally Westons in the 80s, then bought by it's current owners in late 80s and called Loddos. Then it changed to Chateau D'If and then became La Rascasse.

Thanks wowbromley.

I do now remember Chateau D'If although I am not sure that I ever dined there.

I don't remember Westons or Loddos but in the late 80s / early 90s I was living in Penge and working abroad a lot so I didn't
spend much time in Beckenham.

It had a banner outside a while back (six months?) stating La Rascasse had spent 20 years in Beckenham.
