'I ate Vietnamese food at a quiet Bromley restaurant and it's a true gem'
If you're in search of authentic and delicious Vietnamese food in Bromley, I think I've found just the place. On a recent trip to the town centre and while in search of a spot for lunch, I stumbled across Bowl O' Pho in High Street. I was sold after I saw the promise of authentic Vietnamese dishes from its extensive menu, and two bronze business awards proudly displayed in the window. The restaurant is modest and unassuming along a quieter stretch of the High Street, but it was catching the eye of many shoppers. Inside, it was just myself and another customer, and I was allowed to pick from any table of my choosing. The restaurant has cutlery drawers and sauce stations at each table (Image: Newsquest) The quiet lunch setting is exactly what I wanted for my solo meal. The restaurant offers up tasty sounding noodle salads, summer rolls, bánh mì and more. I placed an order for a guava bubble fruit tea and decided on the vegetarian pho. With a restaurant name like Bowl O' Pho, how could I not give it a try?! The guava fruit tea was sweet and refreshing, with a colourful mix of popping boba pearls at the bottom and some surprise tapioca pearls thrown in there too. I sat and sipped on my drink whilst people watching and before I knew it, a generously sized bowl of pho was carefully placed in front of me. The fruit tea was sweet and subtle, the perfect drink to sip on (Image: Newsquest) The pho is also served with a side of fresh garnishes including mint leaves, coriander, chopped red chillies, a lemon wedge and bean sprouts. The best thing about pho is you can truly make it your own. After trying the broth, I added siracha, hoisin, chilli oil and a dash of salt from the sauce station on the table. . Personally, there can never be too much coriander and so I went ahead and added that in with the rest of the fresh sides. It was delicious as it came, but the beauty of pho is being able to make it your own (Image: Newsquest) Despite it being 26 degrees Celsius outside, the bowl of hot broth and bouncy rice noodles provided the fresh and tasty relief I had been searching for.

The service was quick and friendly, the meal peaceful and delicious and the price very reasonable at £18 in total. I have already planned to go back with friends and believe that more people should know of this independent business that you could describe as a high street gem.

'Excited and proud': Glasgow headteacher welcomes £2m boost for new school
GLASGOW'S first 'home-grown' Gaelic headteacher has welcomed the news that her school will open next year after a £2 million investment from the Scottish Government. Alison Richardson comes from a non-Gaelic speaking family, but learned the language at school in Glasgow, before training to be a teacher. She said: 'My mum's family is from Barra, but neither of my parents spoke Gaelic. I learned it by going to school in the city. 'I have experienced all the benefits of a Gaelic education, so it's lovely that things have come full circle.' Bun-sgoil Ghaidhlig a' challtainn pupils from left- Ishbel, Mirren and Pamelah outside what will be the new Gaelic primary school on Stevenson Street (Image: Colin Mearns/Newsquest) Alison and some of her excited primary three pupils from Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig a' Challtainn (Calton Gaelic Primary School) - including, pictured, Mirren, Ishbel and Pamelah, met Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Gaelic Kate Forbes on Tuesday (June 3) as the funding boost was announced. Headteacher Alison Richardson with Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes (Image: Colin Mearns/Newsquest) The money will complete the £23m refurbishment and extension of the former St James' Primary building on Stevenson Street in the East End to establish the city's fourth Gaelic language primary school. The school will have space for 416 pupils. Alison was in the primary seven cohort when the city's first Gaelic school, Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Ghlaschu, opened in 1999. She attended Hillpark Secondary School, which had a Gaelic unit at the time, and completed her PGDE (Postgraduate Diploma in Education) at the University of Strathclyde. Alison Richardson (Image: Colin Mearns/Newsquest) She has been acting headteacher of Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig a' Challtainn in its temporary premises at North Kelvinside Primary since August 2023. 'I've always wanted to be a teacher, I never really imagined doing anything else,' she explains. 'Everyone is really excited and proud to be moving into our very own building. I hope the school will become a real community asset, and that it will help to show the relevance of Gaelic today. 'Gaelic relies on people embracing the language and the culture, but equally, I want the school to embrace the families, to help them feel a part of the Gaelic community.' During a recent arts project, pupils at Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig a' Challtainn learned about the East End's historical connections to Gaelic, when many people arrived in Glasgow from the Highlands and Islands to find work. Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes with Mirren, Ishbel and Pamelah (Image: Colin Mearns/Newsquest) Alison explained: 'They learned that in one of the factories, where lichen was used to dye fabrics purple, the method was kept a secret from competitors because the workforce was made up entirely of Gaelic speakers.' She adds, smiling: 'When it came to choosing their uniforms, the children remembered that story and decided on purple. 'There is a huge misconception that Gaelic wasn't spoken in Glasgow, but that's not true and I think this story is a reminder of that, and a lovely connection to the area's past.' The funding announced by the Deputy First Minister is part of a £2.4 million package to support Gaelic schools and cultural initiatives across Scotland.

Ms Forbes said: 'This school will build on the encouraging surge we have seen in the number of Gaelic speakers and learners in Glasgow and support the language's growth into the future. 'Gaelic medium education enriches communities and offers good value for money by providing better grade averages across all qualification levels despite costs being no greater than average.' She added: 'To support Gaelic's growth across Scotland, we are providing an additional £5.7 million for Gaelic initiatives this year. We are also progressing the Scottish Languages Bill which, if passed by MSPs, will introduce measures to strengthen the provision of Gaelic education.' Glasgow is home to the third largest number of children and young people in Gaelic Medium Education in Scotland with 740 primary pupils in 2023. Census statistics show that 17,380 people in Glasgow had some Gaelic skills in 2022, an increase of 7911 people from 2011. Glasgow City Council has provided £17.6 million towards works at Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig a' Challtainn, within an overall project budget of £23.8 million.
