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.

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
