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!

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
