I have another venue enquiry! My parents are celebrating 50 years of marriage this autumn, & my sister and I want to throw them a party. We were thinking of about 50 people for a sit down buffet. My parents are quite traditional, so quirky pubs are out, and we'd like an outside space or a balcony for guests to have drinks before we eat. Ideally we want somewhere that looks lovely from the outside as well as inside. We've looked at the Horniman (to die for, but gulp!) and a few other lovely venues, but are after somewhere slightly less 'financially challenging'. We are happy to do our own catering, but would consider somewhere with a caterer included. I realise that to a certain extent you get what you pay for, but I thought I'd just ask in case anyone knew of a hidden gem in the South London area. (Or Surrey, or Kent borders)

Any suggestions gratefully received!

I went to a wedding at Beauberry House last year, and it was absolutely beautiful, but my mum & sister visited it last week during the day (it's going to be a daytime party) & they thought it was a bit grubby: there was a broken window, & they had to wait for quite a while in a smelly downstairs room (wee, smoke n crisps!) for the lady who came to show them round. Sis thought it was nice & had potential, mum not so impressed. We do need to stay local. Herne Tavern looks great, but my parents don't want a pub feel. Can't afford the Horniman (ten grand inc buffet for 40!) but do want somewhere nice with a bit of a 'posh & romantic' feel. Thanks for those who've posted ideas so far - Any other ideas? All welcome - am tearing my hair out!!!

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
