Bill's & Westfield

On Saturday (I know this is a few days late I do apologize..) me & mum decided to venture to Chiswick to go to the new restaurant opening of Bill's on Chiswick High Road. I got back from my holiday last Tuesday morning so we decided to spend Saturday together for some "mum & daughter" time because as soon as I had come home from holiday I was straight into my new job so the weekend was the first chance we could properly catch up! It was Saturday afternoon so it was quite busy, we had to wait half an hour for our table but I don't think that's as awful as some places considering Bill's had been open for only one week.

  

I will say it now... if you have never been to a Bill's before you need to go because the food is amazing! Its a very quirky restaurant and has some random decor but its a really good atmosphere and the staff are so friendly. I opted for the fish finger sandwich with skinny fries and oh my god it was the best fish finger sandwich I have ever had. The fish was actual pieces of cod in batter and the fries were really crispy. To drink I had a chocolate brownie milkshake which was incredible! It tasted exactly like a chocolate brownie and it took A LOT of will power to not down it all in one go as soon as I was given it! Mum opted for the Bill's hamburger with bacon and said it was very tasty; a proper burger! It might have to be my order for when I go back next time...

  

We then took a little de-tour on the way home into Westfield's which is my favourite place ever! We went to a little coffee/crepe restaurant just off of the food court and opposite Monsoon - its called Crepe Affaire and it is one of my favourite places to eat at whenever I am in Westfield. They usually only do Crepe's and some other cakes & coffee's etc but they had a new menu with waffles on! So, obviously I got the waffle covered with the most chocolate ever. If you've never eaten at Crepe Affaire you are missing out. Unfortunately, I couldnt finished all my waffle as I was still majorly full from Bill's but it was a nice little pudding to end a good day!

Zoo Lates at London Zoo | July 26th 2013 (Photo Heavy)

 

 

 

On Friday night I went to Zoo Lates at London Zoo with my boyfriend and a few of our friends. The tickets were bought for my boyfriends birthday back in March so I've been counting down the days since then! We had such an amazing night but it went so quickly only being open for four hours. On the way up there we stopped off in Camden for a drink and some dinner at wagamamas as we were quite early. We arrived at the zoo about 20 minutes after it had opened and it was already so busy! We went straight to the beer tent and got a drink and wandered round some of the animals before our other friends arrived to meet us. I ended up getting quite tipsy which was hilarious - being drunk at the zoo is so much fun haha. We didn't manage to go into the rainforest as they wouldn't let us in with our drinks which was annoying because that was the part I was probably looking forward to the most. As you can see in the first picture we bought some giraffe ears which were so adorable! We had a slow walk round and ended up in the reptile house which was amazing - snakes are such cool creatures. We never managed to see the penguins, giraffes or gorillas as they were closed by the time we got round to them. They actually closed the gorillas early because they were getting angry which we thought was quite funny? It did seem a bit strange though that all the animals bedtime was 9pm when Zoo Lates was on till 10pm - what are you meant to do for that last hour? We wondered round the gift shop trying on animal masks! Overall, a really fun night and I will definitely be returning next year.

 

Zoo Lates is held every Friday night in June & July. You can buy tickets around February/March time on the ZSL London Zoo website.
