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!!!

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
