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 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
