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?

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 :)

end of days

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!

    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT). 
    • Your post was an attack on the tax   I didn’t  address or mention you in my reply. Just pointed  out the problems with the article you then told be I wasn’t invited.  In no way am I bullying anyone. The reverse is true if anything 
    • The problem is, I'm not sure what the going rate is for park land for festivals of this nature. I'm sure they are paying less than outfits pay for access to the big stadia - but these have better facilities and are normally better for public transport. I am also sure that Councils could press for more, and should do so, but of course there isn't really a shortage of council lands to exploit, so these entrepreneurs could go elsewhere. What I would like to know is how much of the suggested £440,000 this year for Southwark is net profit - what are their costs in getting and administering this let? If this is a gross figure then what do they actually have as 'surplus'? But at least we have a starting point now - even if it's a guess I'm thinking it's a reasonably informed one.
    • Looks like owner of Persepolis is opening something late summer in what was The dulwich Beer Dispensary spot…  Excited about that
