All units filled at Rhyl's £12million Queen's Market
All of the hot food units at the £12.6m food hall and market in Rhyl have now been leased, with just one - Salt & Pepper Box - still preparing to open. Salt & Pepper Box (Chinese food) has replaced Kinn Kinn (Thai) and will be open imminently. Kumo Ramen was replaced by Anarkali (an Indian food stall) who have been open since the launch of the market. The donut unit opened on the launch weekend, though the operator of the unit has changed since the original proposal. RELATED STORIES We enjoy an exclusive tour of Rhyl's new £12m Queen's Market Aber Falls Distillery and Conwy Brewery took on retail units prior to opening day, and Baked & Loaded (Jacket Potatoes) and the sandwich shop will be opening imminently. A spokesperson from Denbighshire County Council said: "Kumo Ramen and Kinn Kinn (Thai) made a decision to pull out of Queen's Market prior to the opening day. "Kumo Ramen was replaced by Anarkali (Indian food stall), who have been open since day one. Kinn Kinn has been replaced by Salt & Pepper Box (Chinese food), who are currently setting up and will be open imminently. "Signage for the new vendors is currently being installed. "It would not be appropriate for us to comment on the reasons why they decided to pull out, but we are really pleased to see two high quality food vendors coming in to replace them." The spokesperson confirmed that all traders have signed a 24-month licence, which is in line with the agreement that is in place with the operator of Queen's Market - Midland Events (Rhyl) Limited. "Over time, there is always likely to be a certain amount of change in terms of the food and retail offer in Queen's Market," the spokesperson said. "This is to be expected and should not be deemed as a negative. "The donut unit opened during the opening weekend, although the operator of the unit has changed since the original proposal. Again, this is not unusual, and it certainly not a concern to the council or Midland Events (Rhyl) Limited. "All of the hot food units are leased out, with only one (Salt & Pepper Box) still preparing to open. "Aber Falls Distillery and Conwy Brewery took on retail units prior to opening day, and Baked & Loaded (Jacket Potatoes) and the sandwich shop will be opening imminently. "The market has also recently signed up a Bubble Tea vendor, which means that there will be 100 per cent occupancy of the internal retail units within the building. "We would like to thank everyone who visited and supported Queen's Market on what was an extremely successful opening weekend. "We would like to thank the community for bringing the market to life, it was great to see so many people come through the doors." The market, which also boasts a leisure space with shuffleboard, darts, football tables, a double-sided bar, booths to relax and watch TV, and a large flexible events space, opened on Thursday, July 10 at 10am.

'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. READ MORE: Bowls club celebrates 125 years of being part of the community I ate my meal contentedly whilst listening to radio hits from Tate McRae and Taylor Swift that were being played through the restaurant. 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.
