Lunch in Mayfair

Usually about once a week we would go as a team, somewhere to lunch. Before the move to Mayfair would have been somewhere local in Marylebone.

Friday Ray asked if we would all like to go for a Pie. Not really being much of a pie man I went along imagining that they would be going to a cafe style place or Perhaps EAT. Instead we walked along to a mews not far off Berkely Square to a little Pub called the Guinea I believe.

We ate inside in a little restaurant out the back that had crisp white tableclothes but not a window in sight. It reminded me much of dining on P&O's Canberra years ago when all of the Port holes were reserved for cabins and were not a luxury afforded to public area's such as restaurants.

That said this restaurant was a real gem. The service was spot on and the menu, albeit not cheap, was impressive. Enter in through the main restaurant and the counter looks similar to that of a good butchers. Steaks all labeled as to their cut and a grill sizzling away with pub orders.

It being only noon on a Friday orderin a steak would have been a bit decadent whichever way you look at it and while the boys all took a famous award winning pie, I opted for the Haddock with whole grain mash. It did feel a little formal having lunch in such a fine Mayfair establishment but a good way to wind down the week before making the short walk back to the office.

On the way stopping at the Bentley & Rolls Royce showroom and checking out the price of the little sporty convertible in the window. Yours if you have a spare 1.4 Million Euros. Can you imagine what the insurance would be?
