The best and worst takeaway Cantonese roasts in London
55 portions of roast duck, 47 of char siu, 49 of roast pork and 39 of chicken from 43 eateries. This isn’t your racist uncle’s Chinese takeaway. Continue reading
Davies and Brook review – this jet-setting restaurant at Claridges’ is running out of fuel
Humming along nicely? Not quite. An old work chum of mine was so ensconced in his suburbanite routine that he was only vaguely that Mayfair existed. When we had to walk through the area to get to a work-related Christmas party elsewhere, he was therefore taken aback at the gilded cushiness of the businesses lining … Continue reading
Mc and Sons review – the Thairish pub that’s not as plucky as it first appears
A pub food minichain hiding in plain sight Pubs serving Thai food seems like an odd pairing, but this now commonplace coupling was initially a result of nothing more exotic than economic necessity and entrepreneurial foresight.

Kin et Deum review – the revamped London Bridge Thai that hasn’t fallen far from the tree
Uncomfortable reading lies ahead The trio of siblings behind Kin et Deum would doubtless prefer that I spend this introduction focussing on their Thai restaurant’s airy and tastefully decorated interior or that they’re building upon the legacy of their father’s Thai restaurant which used to occupy the same premises. Unfortunately for them, I can’t possibly … Continue reading

Henry’s review – cosy vegetarian dining in the back streets of Bath
This review of a Bath restaurant is a break from The Picky Glutton’s usual London coverage While it’s highly unlikely I’ll ever become a vegetarian, I have a great deal of sympathy for people who are and want to eat out. While it’s easy to assume that the recent surge in vegetarianism (and veganism) means … Continue reading
