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!

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • 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
