"Nothing says “it’s going to be alright” quite like a big bowl of pho noodles. Luckily, this no frills traditional Vietnamese joint Cafe Mama Pho in Surrey Quays is still here for south-east Londoners on Deliveroo and a proprietary app. Accepting contactless payment and local deliveries only to minimise social contact, Depfordites can enjoy a hug from within and slurp up the comforting goodness from their pho tai chin, a 8-hour fresh beef stock topped with rare beef and fragrant herbs. Other must-order classics should include cánh gà chiên bơ, fried chicken wings with garlic butter and lemongrass, and chả giò, shatteringly crisp deep fried spring rolls filled with pork and prawns. Plenty of other vegan and vegetarian options, too." - Angela Hui
