40th birthday pub recommendations!

Recommended Posts

Hi,


I'm wanting to hire an area, ideally in a garden, for my husbands 40th birthday for a Saturday afternoon. It needs to be a family friendly pub, ideally in the east Dulwich, Peckham, nunhead, forest hill area. Can recommendations appreciated! Even if it hadn't got a garden but I'd appreciate some tips!

Thanks

The East Dulwich Tavern on Lordship Lane has an upstairs room which is available for private hire - it has it's own bar, kitchen and sound system. It's also got it's own entrance so perfect for parties!


The Rye on Rye Lane (Peckham Rye end) has a lovely garden area, so worth asking there about hosting your party there.


Railway Telegraph in Forest Hill also has lovely outdoor garden.


Hope you find something :)

The Cherry Tree on Grove Lane has the best pub garden in the area in my opinion - don't know what they're like for parties but sure you could easily book out the dining section, which is quite nicely separate from the rest of the pub. I see they do a free bottle of prosecco for birthday parties of over five as well. Definitely family friendly.


No connection with TCT, just really like it!


Cheers,


Rendel

The Ivy House (Stuart Road, Nunhead), London's first community owned pub, is very family friendly and positively welcomes children. The staff are lovely.


It only has quite a small garden, but that has been massively improved of late and is now even lovelier :)


It's just a minute's walk from the Rye with the kids' playground and lots of grass to run around on, too.

To find out about booking, contact Harry, the Events Manager, on 020 7277 8233.


Hope you find a great venue whatever you decide!


PS I have to declare an interest as I have community shares in the pub, but I would still recommend it even if I hadn't :)

The Crooked Well Camberwell.

Not got a garden as far as I know, but they do have an upstairs room you can hire. We had our wedding reception there in January and the food, drink and service was exemplary. We had a starter of mixed meats, smoked salmon and mezze, superb Beef Wellington main and Chocolate and Marshmallows to follow. They let us taste various wines and Champagnes prior to the day to get a good match and couldn't have been more accommodating. Highly recommended.

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
