You can have any meat you want as long it’s Beef or Pork Beard to Tail is rather hard to categorise. Although it has a fairly broad menu of pork and beef dishes, it’s not really a steakhouse or a barbecue restaurant and sits uncomfortably somewhere in between. Although it’s within spitting distance of both … Continue reading »

Duke’s Brew and Que review – the best ribs in London? Not really.
American BBQ comes to Hackney Barbecue restaurants are like buses – you wait ages for one to arrive and then two come along at once. Pitt Cue in Soho may be (deservedly) getting all the attention, but a lesser known BBQ joint called Duke’s has also opened up. Duke’s is located in Hackney near Haggerston … Continue reading »
The Old Dairy review – fresh curds or sour milk?
Not all gastropubs are created equal As its name suggests The Old Dairy is situated in what used to be an old cow juicing facility dating from 1890. Situated on the same stretch of grey, unloved north London road as Chez Liline, its drab location makes its physical appearance all the more striking. The handsome … Continue reading »
All Star Lanes review – dining in a bowling alley

Despite these humble origins, the … Continue reading »
Hill Country review 2 – New York BBQ still as good as ever?
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. Barbecue specialist Hill Country was one of the culinary highlights of my previous visit to New York, setting the standard by which I judge all other barbecue restaurants. I was therefore excited by the opportunity to visit the … Continue reading »
Red Dog Saloon review – London barbecue redemption in Hoxton?
The Picky Glutton ventures into deepest, darkest Hoxton in search of quality BBQ I have a great fondness for barbecue, but sadly there’s a dire lack of quality American barbecue eateries in London. The vaunted Bodean’s is deeply mediocre while Barbecoa is overpriced, especially for the shockingly variable quality of its food. I have yet … Continue reading »
Hill Country review – top quality New York BBQ
This review of a New York restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage. There is a woeful lack of American barbecue restaurants in London which I find quite surprising given the relatively large population of Yank expats. Of the few that there are, there’s the overrated and underwhelming mini-chain Bodean’s and … Continue reading »
