With their season already hitting a crisis, West Ham manager Slaven Bilic decided to try to release the pressure by giving his squad clearance to go out together on Monday evening.
Injured Andy Carroll and goalkeeper Darren Randolph led the group to an Italian restaurant in Knightsbridge.
The Hammers were soundly beaten 3-0 by Southampton at home last weekend and are in dire need of making their new London Stadium a fortress - starting with the visit of Middlesbrough this Saturday.
But before turning their attentions to that important game against Aitor Karanka's men, Bilic showed his man management skills by allowing his first team squad to let their hair down at a plush restaurant in west London.
