Pho Balham -
N M Thank you had a lovely meal Sean was exceptionally accommodating very knowledgeable about the food. I made my visit very easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended.
5 /5 Emilia: ​Isabella and Brenda (a mother and daughter team) are the friendly faces of this family-run burger kiosk. They are genuinely cheerful and easy to chat with, which brings a nice local feel to the grounds. Most of the regular residents know them well, and its a pleasant change from more anonymous chains. Its a great place for kids and families.
​The food is reliable and properly good value for this part of Cobham. A beef burger is £4.50 and a tea or coffee is £2.20, which is very fair. It’s a handy spot for parents "Ubering" kids between after-school clubs, whether you’re grabbing a hot drink to watch a muddy rugby session or taking it back to the car while waiting for a sibling at the Prestige Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy. They also sell ice cream in the summer and hold a 5-star hygiene rating, which is always good to know.
​Location and access: You can’t drive directly to the kiosk hatch. There is plenty of parking outside the rugby field (including the Cobham Free School spaces), and from there it’s a two-minute walk. Head past the Cobham Curve building—keep the building on your right and the pitch on your left—and follow the path around the clubhouse bend. Depending on the weather, you can eat in your car or head inside the Cobham Curve Clubhouse. They prefer cash, but they were happy to take my card payment today, and any days I forget cash.
