Restaurant recommendations needed for a 50th birthday Meal

I appreciate this topic has been done to death but my searches aren't coming up with anything useful....


I am trying to organise a meal for my sister's birthday. Trying to find something that is a bit special (ie, not a chain or a pub) and can cater for a few fussy 'plain meat and potatoes only' guests (grr). I've ruled out Chapter One in Farnbrough for this reason.....


Not too fussed on location, just want to stay South of the River. My sister lives in Denmark hill and the rest of us are spread through Dulwich, Forest Hill and Bromley.


There are 25 of us roughly.


Any suggestions?

You couldn't get 25 people at Cornercopia.

The rather brilliant Upstairs in Brixton has a room for 28

The food is delicious, really special.

They have a Michelin 'bib gourmand" which means its the quality of a michelin star without all the poncey-ness.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
