Almost a year has passed since our last Best Bush Competition.
This year we are pleased to announce that Stephen and Juliette the owners of Pho Cafe are sponsoring the event by supplying us Vietnamese Beer and are judging the competition which will be held on September 25th.
The Berkhamsted Chilli Growing Society would like thank Stephen and Juliette for the beer (especially the beer) and their judging skills and look forward to spending some social time with them on the 25th.
This year the Society has been growing Apache chilli plants to win the honour of owning Gordon the Trophy for the forthcoming year.

Burt’s summary
Pho is my favourite London restaurant, it’s run by nice people, they sell healthy yet delicious spicy food and have some great locations some really convenient for getting back to Euston.

Pho opened in Clerkenwell in June 2005 as London’s first Vietnamese street food restaurant. We’re family run, small, informal and serve great value, deliciously healthy and authentically prepared Vietnamese food in an environment we hope you will enjoy.
We specialise in the Vietnamese national dish, pho, an amazingly tasty and nutritious noodle soup, as well as other wonderful Vietnamese foods, coffees (served Vietnamese style including the renowned weasel coffee! ), beers and fresh juices.
We now have 4 restaurants in London and one restaurant in Brighton.
At Pho we keep it simple
Our specialised menu focuses on a small number of Vietnamese street foods and ensures that we have the time to make everything in-house from the highest quality ingredients delivered daily.
Unlike traditional Vietnamese restaurants in London we don’t serve any Chinese dishes or offer a mind boggling menu of choices. We don’t buy in pre-packaged processed meatballs and frozen spring rolls – instead our Vietnamese chefs make everything using authentic recipes.
Pho [fuh] is Vietnam’s national dish. It’s their national obsession – often referred to as the “soul of the nation”. It’s quite simply a delicious and nutritious noodle soup dish eaten every day by the Vietnamese for breakfast, lunch or dinner – or sometimes for all. It’s the ultimate street food.
Pho (in fact the vast majority of our menu) is really good for you. Just as in Vietnam our stocks are made from scratch and take many hours to prepare – it’s this authentic preparation that’s key to the stock retaining all its goodness and developing its subtle and distinctive taste. So it’s extremely healthy, brimming with fresh ingredients and very low in fat. The perfect comfort food, hangover cure or cold remedy.
If you are interested in sponsoring next years competition drop Burt an email. Typically we require seeds, compost, beer and food.
