I'm looking for ways to mitigate the effect of the expected over consumption of alcohol and want suggestions of food they are likely to eat (without having to re-heat etc.).


I haven't hosted a teen party before but do realise food needs to be subtle but available.


I'm more than happy to get a flow of deliveries/ heve an account with the pizza place but just want good ideas from successful hosts out there please!

(a) Control the alcohol consumption (there are ways, without spoiling things)


(b) when my parents kindly let me use the house at that age, something as simple as nice crusty bread (try Slatters in Sygenham), cheese, and ham worked really well

Put it on Facebook and you could get a few more...

It went well! Too smoothly perhaps? Everyone happy, midly hungover this morning but all good. They even left me a G&T!!!!

Best food options were veggie pizzas, olives, crisps and bananas (!). Alcohol was vodka, glitter schnapps and fruit cider. Only damage was odd bit of pizza on the wall......

Heartwarming. Oor teens ain't so bad eh.

Really glad it went well.


Broadly speaking, depending on how old the "teens" are, if you are intending to provide alcohol at a party (or to "allow" it), I think you ought to discuss it with the parents of the children you're planning on inviting and giving it to.


What you might think is ok for your child might not be ok for other people. I was horrified when I found out parents of year 9 children (aged 13 - 14) were blithely "allowing" alcohol at house parties not only because of the damage that alcohol can do to young brains, the dubious message that it sends about the "correct" way to socialise, but also that those parents felt they had the right to decide things for my children.

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
