As some of you may know, I have spent the past year working in Hammersmith for my placement. During my time here I've been out to many places for lunch and I wanted to share them with you in case you're in the area.

This is by far my favourite place to eat in Hammersmith! It's a small, simple pub but the food and staff are both amazing. They serve Thai food which is just amazing! I was never really a big fan of Thai food until I came here and to be truthful to you, I just can't get enough of it! My favourite is the Red Curry Sauce with Egg-fried rice. It's pretty affordable and you get a good sized portion. They're relatively fast in bringing out the food which is nice if you have limited time for lunch.
We came here for my birthday lunch and keep meaning to go back. This place is really popular in the summer as it's located right on the river front and it's so beautiful! But when I went for lunch it was pretty quiet inside. The food is a bit different to what you would expect from a pub, but it still has the classics. I would say this is probably the priciest of them all, but if you want something a little more light and fancier, this is the place to go. I personally like the pub and atmosphere here more than the food, but the staff are lovely and it's nice to go if you're with a fair amount of people.
I've only just discovered this place, it's located close to some more well-known restaurants and so it's easy to miss. But the vibes in this pub are so chilled and very summer-like. It's almost like sitting in a glorified conservatory. The prices here are a little more than the above but the portion sizes are much bigger! The food is typical of what you would have for a pub lunch, but tastes delicious. They do a little while to bring out the food so make sure you have a bit of time to spare! A little heads up, their sweet potato fries are some of the best I've ever had!
Love Always,
