Safe House in Mayfair: The Savile Club

We arrived in London at 2:45 Saturday afternoon.
This is my second time driving in Central London. SatNav is a wonderful invention and I am sure we would have ended up somewhere in Yorkshire without it.

The Savile Club is a wonderful old house. I have tried to capture a bit of it in these pics. But they dont do it justice.








Now as luck would have it, the bar was open - even though the club is unstaffed on the weekends. So we availed ourselves of Green King IPA, just to maintain equilibrium.

Best of all of course is the company - Karen and Wyn took us out for a meal.
Owen had whitebait, which for those who do not know are tiny whole fish, breaded and fried whole - as in with head on. Including the eyes. Yes he ate them all up. Good man Owen!
Rhod had a wonderful grilled goat cheese appetizer. Toast smothered in carmelized onions, the cheese on top and grilled under the salamandar. It was outstanding. I had smoked haddock topped with Welsh Rarebit as my entree. It was very good indeed. Karen finished her meal with the largest strawberry sundae I have ever seen an adult eat! I think she enjoyed it. Gareth and I had matching lemon tarts and tea for pud.
It is good to be well cared for.
Well we are heading home in the morning.
More pics will surely follow.
