Reader Photos

What it actually looks like when it turns up.

Every photo here was taken by somebody who paid for the meal and opened the box. No menu shots, no studio lighting, no food stylist. I ask each person before anything goes up, and I take it down the moment they want it down.

Getting your photo on the site

  1. Take the picture as it arrives. The tray, the sleeve, the mess. That is the part nobody else shows.
  2. Write a quick review and attach it. A line or two is plenty.
  3. Tell me how to credit you. Your name, or nothing at all. I ask before anything is published, and I will remove it whenever you ask.
