Old Ship

Old Ship, 25 Upper Mall, Hammersmith, London

This was the ultimate Friday working-week wind-down do (even tho we weren't working that week) :P

The Old Ship was one of the many pubs / restaurants lining the banks of the Thames. Everyone was lazing by the parks all along the side, with a glass of beer or wine.

Meanwhile, we had more serious things on our minds -- like eating!

Muffin ordered a steak -- the mushroom was unbelievably tasty (I should've ordered the whole main of mushrooms!) while I settled for a fish ... (because I knew fish would be the lightest main so I can cram in desserts! Alas the heavy risotto kinda cancelled out that plan)

Scotch fillet steak with garlic field mushrooms, balsamic cream sauce

Salmon fillet with lemon & spring onion risotto

The chocolate sponge cake I wish I had

The sticky date pudding I wish I had

My first (and last) banoffee pie

 

I didn't know what a banoffee pie was so curiousity got the better of me -- it's not very exciting ... too much cream, plain ol' banana and sweet sauce ...
