Nadine Frost, Branksome Beach General Manager said: “When we were told that we had won a Cool Place award from Hot Brands Cool Places we were over the moon!

“The online magazine lists all the best brands and to be selected as the cool place to visit is a great honour. Our major re-fit and outstanding new spring menu has really put us in the running as one of the best seaside restaurants in England!”

Kaye Thorne of Hot Brands Cool Places said: “April is our Coastal Style month, and Branksome Beach represents great style on the south coast. The Cool Place Award is well deserved.”
