Jollibee Leicester Square review – East Asian fast food, lost in translation
The food in this review was paid for, in part, using a gift voucher from Jollibee’s UK public relations firm. The voucher was unsolicited and they had no say over anything in this review, nor were they informed in advance of the date or time of my visit. Continue reading
Bala Baya review – the outside terrace with a crowd-pleasing menu
A Middle Eastern sharing menu with some charm, here and there. A curious thing happened in medieval Europe following the apocalyptic devastation of the Black Death. With workers fewer in number, those that remained were able to command better wages and working conditions from their titular overlords – an imbalance in the supply-and-demand of the … Continue reading

Mackerel Sky review – this seafood bar achieves lift-off, but doesn’t quite soar
This review of a Newlyn/Penzance restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London-based coverage.

Despite the prominence of fisheries in the UK’s increasingly bitter relations with its continental neighbours, we’re a surprisingly seafood-averse bunch. In 2017, … Continue reading
