WINTER D INING GU I DE

PHO Pho, the healthy Vietnamese restaurant on Wheeler Street, has the perfect menu for a pit stop from Christmas shopping

or a festive celebration with friends and family. The majority of the menu is gluten free, from indulgent starters like crispy baby squid and spicy chicken wings to healthy pho noodle soups and rice bowls. With a great wine list, amazing cocktails, loads of vegan options and a kids’ menu to boot – there really is ‘something Pho everyone’. And if you’re feeling a bit run down or hungover from a little too much festive activity, pho noodle soups have been known to be the best cure. You can also try out Pho’s new lunch special: from opening until 4pm on Mondays to Fridays, you can get prawn (or vegan prawn-less) crackers, a main and a drink, all for £9.95. phocafe.co.uk

in its crown.

And now that you can get your own ‘Steam at Home’ bao kits, there’s no more using the wintery weather as an excuse to miss out! guerrillakitchen.co.uk

the region, offering a solid selection of authentic Asian street food dishes, roasting and grinding its very own aromatic spice blends on-site.
