Special wartime food to match… And The Hitchhiker (1953) Ida Lupino.
... Today the Thames riverboat pilots tell the story of Waterloo Bridge being built by women during the Second World War. Official history had written this story out as Historian Dr Christine Wall discovered after years of trawling through archives. In 2005 she was joined by film-maker Karen Livesey to pursue the story through oral history. We set out to find these women, The Ladies Bridge documentary explores why these bridge builders and 25,000 other female construction workers had been written out of history. It was not until 2015, with the find of threee photographs and a crucial interview from the documentary, that womens’ contribution to the building of the bridge was officially acknowledged.Producers: Jo Wiser & Karen Livesey

What a fabulous evening with the Bon Banimals. Lovely meal (whole doing coloring and naming a felt elephant puppet) wonderful magical decor and then a truly original show. Finish off by everyone singing Christmas carols. Thank you!!

We had the most unique and wonderful evening. Thank you Jane and the team it was an evening to remember! Food was delicious and the place is such a treat 🌞

We had an amazing evening fully immersed in talent, history and fabulous company. The story told in song of the history of one small building and many occupants was beautiful.

Angelic voices and talented musicians draw you into their fascinating world, I would highly recommend Bon- Bane’s and very much look forward to going back and sharing the experience with more of my friends.

Oh and I forgot to mention there is food which was also part of the performance and it was lovely.

The most unique restaurant experience I've ever had, all within a Belgian atmosphere! Everybody is welcomed in like you are part of the family, and served the most delicious Belgian ales, exotic foods, (if you like potatoes, make sure that you ask for the Stoemp! It will free your soul!)



Come the dusk, truly brilliant music hidden away in dark corners where people have been known to get lost, appearing hours later with knowing smiles and a drink in their hands...

The most amazing little find in the back streets of Brighton, food amazing, you have to try the sausages! And to top of it we were serenaded by the chef and waitress, will 100% go again

The greatest place for a drink, some chatting with your friends and some wonderful service. The girls sang so beautifully and my mom and I had tears in our eyes while walking home yesterday evening!

We also loved the musicians who played last night! <3 Molly's lips!

The best place in Brighton � so many fun times and brilliant lovely people here

The Bestest place and people in Brighton. Amazing adventures, marvellous music and musicians, delicious food, not to mention excellent drinks and the famous Food and Film for £5.55! What's not to love?

Thank you Jane and all your colleagues for a great night on Saturday. I loved it and so did all my friends and family. What a perfect place for a birthday party. I can’t think of anywhere that would have suited us more as it really felt special for us. Loved your special song for me and the food and your care in making it great.

Such an amazing evening. Massive thanks to Jane and the ladies for such scrummy food and ambience beyond imagination. We were immersed with creativity � Seriously, this has gone in the memory bank of unique experiences. Thank you, and see you again xxxx

I’ve been signing about having a fish bowl on my head all day, loved it

I went to Bom-Banes for my daughter's hen-do and it exceeded all our expectations! Jane and her girls were utterly amazing and so welcoming....They literally made our day!! I would recommend it unreservedly!

Feeling Fully Festive after a wonderful evening of Bom-Banery at the Bombanimals' Christmas Party. Wonderful food, a charming theatrical treat and a rousing carol singing session. It is always an absolute pleasure to slip into the Bom-Bane's Universe and it holds a special place in our hearts. Thank you Jane Bom-Bane and the Family Players for a truly magical night x

Bom - Banes is so much more than a place to eat.....it is truly an experience worth experiencing.! From the moment we sat down, the entertainment begins, the decor, the welcome, the songs, the poetry and the food was incredible in flavour and value. Jane is a wonderful hostess and a talent to be applauded. It was our first visit...it won't be our last.
