west indian barbecue by bakers arm leytonReview:

chicken as you get off the bus in the=20
dark of winter arriving.. I think the barbecue is attached to the =
entrepreneurial pub, which has=20
previously set up a bouncy castle perilously close to the road. I saw a =

appealing for witnesses to a shot being fired from a car at people =
outside the bakers arms. A=20
landmark then. The chicken is brought out of black bin bag, burnt, =
smoked, cooked on a drum bbq,=20
and then sliced on a picnic table and wrapped in foil. All this takes =
place on the pavement, as though=20
the street is a common space, where anything might happen. And I stop =
and watch the cooking, and=20
think whether to get in the queue, which may in fact just be other =
spectators. And I decide I can't wait=20
but walk off cheered. fun bbq or street nuisance?
