I passed by Bird in Hands many times and I was quite attracted by this pub, which I think looks nice.
I read on internet there is a new Italian management and they make pizza, I thought that is a bizarre choice for a pub and a lot of time passed before I decided to try it.
I finally decided to go there for dinner a few days ago when a friend of mine told me he dined there and the pizza was very good.
When I arrived I was surprised to see the pub was crowded and full of English people. We had to wait a little bit before being able to sit even if it was almost 10pm.
Tables are maybe too close to each other, there is a soft music in background, soft light and a young environment. Sits are comfortable and the staff are friendly.
The menu contains a list of at least 8 pizzas plus starters and main courses. English dishes like soup and steak are there and the menu also contains a list of Italian fusion dishes.
I wanted to try pizza so we had one Margherita to share and after I had homemade gnocchi with cavoulflower, cheese and nuts. It was a very original dish, gnocchi were very soft, tasty and well cooked. Pizza was good to be served in a pub but there is room for improvement.
They have a good wine list and I had a glass of Portuguese white wine which I enjoyed.
We spent 25£ each which is a fair price. I will definetey go again to try all other interesting dishes on the menu.
Rate: 8 out of 10.

Hidden cosy pub in Hammersmith
After a period of inactivity I'm back with my reviews. Apparently recently I fell in love with English culture and English cuisine more than I would have ever expected. So have my choices, in fact I quite often prefer English gastropubs to Italian restaurants.
The Stonemasons Arms is a cosy hidden pub in Hammersmith with a nice local atmosphere, it's a typical English pub with wood floor, wood tables and low lights, there is a dining area and a drinking area. They also have a patio outside with a few tables. I had just a quiche with mushrooms and spinach, it was served in a bed of salad with caramelised onions, tomatoes,, small pieces of crunchy bread and rocket. The dish was delicious. Some people at the table had a steak with chips and it looked like something I have to try next time.

I'm sure I will go back to this place because food is really really good.
I also had a beer and I paid less than 10 pound and I think it was good money for value.
