PICK.YOUR.OWN.

Pick Your Own is one of those places that hits the sweet spot for a healthy city lunch. Been here a few times now and always walk away impressed – loads of fresh options, clearly labelled ingredients, and great flavour across the board. Whether you’re grabbing something quick for the office or sitting down for a calmer break, it works both ways. The team is genuinely friendly, the space is well laid out, and the food consistently feels high quality without being overpriced. Even their Deliveroo game is strong. Quietly rated: worth stopping.

This is by far the best curated bowls restaurant I’ve ever been to. They have a variety of organic bowls and they all look delicious. They offer free juice with your order on Friday which is a treat! I ordered the cucumber pineapple one. I will 100% come back again!

Third time here. What an experience!! I stand by what I said about P.Y.O. having the best selection of meats/fish/main toppings. Today I got the everything-bagel-crusted salmon and it was so good!! (Ps. I don’t actually know if it’s called that but maybe it should be.) The staff are so warm and welcoming. I do feel one step closer to making “that” salad. You know, like the subway sandwich you make when you’re 12 and never look back. I look forward to that day. While you’re here, definitely read through my evolution of thoughts on this establishment. 5 stars, well earned. - - - - - - - - - - This review includes two experiences, the one below was my first impression and the one above is a more recent experience. So I went back, and I enjoyed my order so much more. Ditched the fava beans, they’re just odd. And this is coming from someone who is culturally exposed to a laaarge variety of beans. The lamb was delicious. I tried some of the other sauces and they were great! I do like this place, I definitely think there’s potential to grow and I’d be keen to return. The variety of meats here are a lot more attractive than other salad spots. I do appreciate that my review caught the attention of the P.Y.O. and I always appreciate being reached out to about experiences. While I didn’t quite find the time to reply, I did manage to make it back there at lunch time. Hence this review. In short, don’t knock it until you really try it and find what works well for you! - - - - - - - - - - Not my favourite salad in the area but… I’m not saying it can’t be. I came across this place on my way to Birley’s and after taking a peak through the window, I was intrigued by what they were serving. If you’re following my review journey, you may have noticed me making my way around the salad spots in the EC3 area. This is maybe the 4th place I’ve tried so there’s a bit of competition to keep up with. Let me cover the good points. The place has a nice vibe to it, the staff are friendly, portion sizes are hearty and the price is similar to other venders in the area. I got the honey mustard dressing and it was pleasant, not overpowering at all and I’d definitely have it again. The meat selection looked appetising and the shredded chicken was perfectly moist. Now for the not so great parts… I did select an array in terms of the base but ended up with significantly more barley and beans than salad so there was definitely an imbalance there. The fava beans were doing too much, I didn’t enjoy the texture of them. The toppings spread was limited in comparison to other places serving similar food. And lastly, the croutons weren’t crunchy - they were rock hard like they caught moisture and dried up prior to being tossed in any dressing. Would I give this place another go? Definitely, but I would order something different. It would be nice to see a little more variety, a change in the crouton-making process and I think it would help if some people were dotted around Leadenhall market with a little voucher and directions on where to find this place. The footfall was definitely lacking when I first saw this place and even when I visited today. And… as much as I’d love to be able to grab a quick bite with no queuing up, it would be great to see this place thrive! Strongly believe this place has the potential to grow, there were some heads turning when I pulled this out at the office! And I think it would help if people knew this place existed!

We had a fantastic experience at Pick Your Own in the heart of London. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and refreshingly relaxed. The concept is both fun and interactive — getting to select your own fresh ingredients adds a personal and unique touch to the meal. The quality of the food was outstanding. Everything was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the difference when ingredients are chosen on the spot and prepared with care. The menu offered a great variety for all tastes, and the staff were more than happy to offer recommendations when needed. Service was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the concept. We felt well looked after without being rushed, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. This is a brilliant spot for a casual meal, a date, or even something a bit different with friends. Highly recommend Pick Your Own for anyone looking for something fresh and interactive in London’s restaurant scene. We’ll definitely be back! We loving it

Food is very tasty, but £5.50 for a small fillet of salmon. When I mentioned at the till that my colleague’s fillet seemed much bigger the member of staff just stated that it’s weighed and then turned away.

Had a really great lunch from this place today, and will definitely be coming back. The range of options for the salad is impressive and everything was really tasty. The staff were friendly and helped explain the ordering process to me, and didn’t rush me at all. I definitely recommend the coronation Caesar dressing and the chicken crackling as toppings, delicious!

A fabulous addition to the London lunchtime scene. The lines of people excited to get a taste of the new concept of fresh and accessible food said it all. The salads were absolutely delicious, utilising so many unique ingredients with huge emphasis on where they were sourced was a breath of fresh air. A lovely range of brands on offer for drinks and sweet snacks to accompany the salads also. Extremely generous portions & such tasty food. Will be back for the roasties alone!!

Excellent fresh food, served ‘build your own’ style (some set salads) A new ‘salad bar’ food outlet in the heart of The City, with a fresh take on build your own. Select from a range of bases (2 if medium box, 3 if large) then 3 ‘toppers’ - can recommend the chicken crackling and crunchy yellow peas, then any added ‘premium’ items (prices vary) from potato’s to chicken, ham hock etc. Then choose a sauce. Food items to select from very wide ranging and fresh. Staff super helpful, patient (lots of new folks finding their feet here) and queues not too bad; but will surely pick up as it becomes more well known. They’re a little tight on the sauces and charge extra for more, which seems a little penny-pinching, but portion sizes good so, I guess it comes out ‘in the round’. A clear rival to ‘Salad Project’.
