Hi all

A group of NCT mums are looking for a place to hold our babies' first birthday in the first week of April. A restaurant/pub with a room for hire would be great, so the active ones can crawl around. Or failing that, somewhere with the space to host 12 adults and 6 babies (6 highchairs needed!) Any suggestions most welcome.

A lot of the pubs have space that you could use:


Herne

Mag

Plough (conservatory area)


as well as the likes of the Florence which has a dedicated kids room.


Alternatively Locale has a separate room which we got to use (for free) recently for our son's 4th birthday party.


Have fun!

We just had my daughter's second birthday party in the upstairs room at the old nuns head. It is a lovely room, ?50 to hire, no minimum spend, held about 40 people comfortably, very nice family friendly people running it, sound system that you can plug your iPod into, a load of fatboy beanbags that the older kids turned into a sort of soft play. Dont know about food as we just had a bar tab and brought our own birthday cake. Worked really well for us. Bit reluctant to tell everyone about it as don't want it to get booked up when we next need it (like the herne was when I tried...although I'm very happy in the end the herne wasn't available!)

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
