Looking for something a bit different (and cheap!)as a venue for an office pre-Xmas meal. The firm is architects and designers, based near London bridge so ideally something near there or round here would be fine too. It doesn't necessarily have to be a traditional sit down meal and we don't want anything too formal and stuffy, but somewhere we can chat and still get something to eat.We know most of the regular places in SE22 and also around Bankside / Borough market but thought there may be pop ups happening or something like that. Any ideas?

Wetherspoons cheap but not unusual https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/pubs/all-pubs/england/london/the-pommelers-rest-tower-bridge-south


Brixton Prison - unusual but not close



Royal Oak Borough most excellent

City Cruises based at Westminster Bridge - we had a 3 course meal with wine whilst cruising along the Thames. Seemed expensive at first but for the length of the cruise and quality of food it was a good bargain. Great seeing all the festive lights along the river.

They also have a small disco after the meal is served which some of our team were delighted with.

Try La Scala near East Dulwich station. The have a series of evening themed events going on until Christmas and they're very reasonable priced. They've got events like 'soup and wine', 'cheese and wine tasting', 'chestnuts and drinks'...check their Instagram or facebook page, they're called La Scala coffee house :)

thanks for the suggestions - so far my favourite is Brixton Prison - will definitely go there and to some of the other ones recommended soon even if not the Xmas meal- (I don't get the final say as I don't actually work in their office!

Keep the ideas coming in, the more unusual the better.

I can only second La Scala near the train station. I'm also looking for a nice place for my office peeps to go to and had a lovely chat with the cafe owner just last week about it. Depending on how many people you are (we are around 25), you can have the whole place, which is a great option for us as it's just a bit more intimate that way (and you know how it can get quite loud during the Christmas meals!!) ;-) We are probably gonna book a night of cheese tasting. It has been described to us as a "meal made of cheeses and wine" - I think you get to taste 10 cheeses and 10 wines and the price is ridiculously good. Basically the lady said she can pretty much cater to what we want drinks-wise (I do need my Aperol Spritz!) and I personally also like the idea of supporting a small local business. Had no idea you can book them for these events, so I am glad I got chatting to her.


let us know what you go for eventually!

      I’m going to stick my Gregory Peck right out and say not the Tories.

      I think there's a lot in what you say. Although bi election results aren't usually indicative of GE results, I was horrified to see Reform support was so high in what had previously been a Labour stronghold, Labour and Conservative results reflecting the tired old parties they are.  It isn't our generation (sorry @Sue if I'm being presumptuous!) that will decide the outcome of elections but those in their 20s, 30s, 40s ... if they can be bothered to vote. The Greens and Reform now present a real choice instead of two centrist main parties of the last 30 years which has put people off voting. Perhaps locally I will continue to vote Labour, i really couldn't bear for the LibDems to return and we have to consider the demographic of the whole of Southwark. But come the GE I will probably vote Green.

      I agree but in the case of McAsh, that would just have left his constituents without a councillor for 3 months until the May elections. MPs switching parties is really galling. If an MP is suspended for law breaking etc., then a recall petition can be issued and, if enough of the constituents support it, a by-election is called. I think the same should apply for defectors.

      Interesting discussion point @Moovart, should they wait till the next election or should it trigger an immediate by-election so the post is not left empty ?  Your concept is logical and may have the added effect of swaps, lke the Premier league, only happening in a defined transfer window just before each election.
