A really, really nice experience. Very comfortable atmosphere to be in, a bit of background noise as you'd expect in a restaurant but we were perfectly able to hear each other. Service was great and the food was wonderful. Most of us had pizzas, I had the lasagna and it was all so good, so impressed with the vegan "cheese"!

Lovely venue, fried chicken and crispy spring rolls are outstanding! I’m from Australia and eat BBH and Pho regularly and as my first experience in the UK of BBH it didn’t hit the mark for me. The broth when initially tasted felt like it needed a lot more work and I couldn’t build the flavour I’m used to with the herbs etc unfortunately. The beef was a bit dry and chewy, it overpowered the rest of the dish. While it didn’t hit the mark for me, I’m still glad I tried it. I’d recommend tissues on the tables and Hoisin sauce. Thanks

We ordered coffee and cake only although the menu shows a variety of snacks, light meals suitable for eating all day long. Its a busy eatery in a popular small seaside town and attracts a variety of customers. Light and spacious surroundings and enough room between tables so you are not disturbed by nearby tables. Staff were pleasant and the order came promptly.
