"The Joint serves amazing pulled pork buns. I 'd end it there and let the photos below make your mouth water unless you 're vegetarian) but I 've got so much to rave about this, uh, joint, so uh... go forth and salivate with me. They started in 2012 as a pop-up with the aim of serving 'fast food with a twist ' and honing the chef-meets-baker concept to a tee. Coupla years later, they now have two shops in town: the first in Brixton Market and the most recent in Marylebone. Their meat is all free range pork supplied by Ginger Pig nonetheless) and the buns are all made in-house. Now, I 'm not really a pulled pork kinda gal but this was a rare case of love at first big) bite. The BBQ pulled pork bun is made with brioche, 16-hour pulled pork, coleslaw, lettuce. It 's heavy in size and heavier in flavour. The pulled pork is tender and flavoursome and the barbecue sauce is a good balance of tangy and sweet. The brioche had a slight sweetness to it which surprisingly worked well with the pork and it amazed me as it held everything together even when the juices oozed out and slipped down my arms. Yes, it 's quite mess to eat, but what a beautiful mess it is. The Asian pulled pork bun is freaking amazing. Same 16-hour-cooked pork, but this time they 've put chilli, coleslaw, ginger for an extra zing. I actually prefer this over the BBQ bun. They 're very generous with the pork so for £8.50 £10.50 if you want to add some guac or cheese etc) this is seriously a fantastic bargain. For the carb conscious, know that they do their fare in wraps for a relatively lighter meal but you really have to try the brioche buns). I tried the BBQ chicken wrap and really enjoyed how juicy the shredded protein turned out. I rarely order chicken when I eat out but this was quite superb. Sides £4.50 each) are wrapped up in greaseproof paper which I find too good an idea. Ecological and economical, unlike those blue and white enamel hipster bowls that remind me of, uh, chamber pots. I 'm a sucker for good onion rings but have been dismayed with the selection in the city... until I had The Joint 's version. Cooked to a fantastic hue of golden brown, these moreish rings are so crispy and not soggy at all. The chilli riblets are fall-off-the-bone succulent and great. I thought the sauce could do a bit more smoke and a bit more heat, but I perfectly managed to finish a whole serving of this and would gladly have another some time soon). The hot wings, like the chilli riblets, could do with a bit more heat as well but I 'm pleased to report these bad boys are big enough to claim their worth. Those chickens surely have been working out. Overall, food from The Joint actually delivers more than what some American BBQ restaurants in town have promised and I 'm stoked because it 's all Brit produce. They 're clearly pulling ahead of the game and I wouldn 't be surprised if a third joint pops up in town soon. Better run and have a bun for fun before I bore you with more silly puns. I highly recommend it."

"What a fortunate discovery! I stumbled upon this restaurant while searching for a place that would cater to everyone's taste. The menu boasted a wide variety of options, so I decided to give it a try. I am so happy I did because I ended up enjoying one of the best burgers I have ever tasted – the Smokey Joe. The presentation was impeccable and the taste was out of this world. I also indulged in some mouthwatering sweet potato fries. The only downside is that this restaurant does not serve alcohol. However, everything else about the experience was fantastic. The service was top-notch, with friendly and efficient wait staff. I would not hesitate to dine here again – a definite 10/10."

"Visited the Joint at Greenwich Peninsula Golf Range, as we were in the area and the website looked great. So we walked all the way there which from the tube station is half a mile alone, but from the emirate cable cars were further away. We got there just before 12, not particularly busy, no work being done in the kitchen, staff chatting looking at mobile phones at the bar, inattentive to customers. Might be as they don’t have to bring a menu or anything and you are expected to order by mobile phone. We have two children and once we managed to get their attention (which was a struggle) we asked for a ‘high chair’ for our toddler. They looked at me like I was an alien and the man went and got a tall stool. Didn’t know what I was talking about, and didn’t have a high chaie. This is no good for a restaurant next to a mini crazy golf range aimed at kids. Was starving and we had to leave as it was not family friendly so didn’t get to there. So a heads up to anyone with kids, don’t bother with the walk. On the way back you’ll end up hangey! On the plus side ate somewhere else which was nice, but really annoying."

"Friendly staff, trendy hip bar type atmosphere, the relatively loud music was actually unexpectedly welcome as a preventative measure to the other-people's-eating-noise-and-irritating-conversation-induced-insanity that is sometimes an inevitable element of such intimate dining setups... The smoked meat was delicious, the chicken wings were top notch, could maybe up the chip game but overall the food was good."
