Not strictly family room related but everyone always has great ideas on threads like this!


I'm looking for somewhere for 16 people (including 4 children aged between 2 and 9) to have lunch on a Saturday in October. It is a celebration of sorts so somewhere a bit special would be great. It doesn't have to be in East Dulwich, anywhere nearby is fine.


There are several vegetarians in the party in case that makes a difference.


Thanks!

The upstairs room at the Prince Regent in Herne Hill can be hired out separately, has its own bar. It's a really lovely space with high ceilings and there would be tons of space for kids to run around without disturbing anyone. I've always found the food there to be good. We hired the whole space (table area, sofa area plus bar) for a big group lunch a while back and I think it was ?150 hire fee?


The Crooked Well also has a private dining room I think?


If you didn't mind going into town the Swan restaurant at the Globe theatre is a really lovely space and has great views of the river. We had a really good meal there but it was a quite a few years ago now. They have a couple of private dining areas you can hire. The balcony room might be a bit bigger than you need but maybe they'd do a special rate for lunchtime! http://www.loveswan.co.uk/shakespearesglobe/events/spaces.html


Or I've also heard about Village East in Bermondsey that have a private dining room? The Little Room has space for 20 so could be a good size: http://www.village-london.co.uk/private-dining-village-east/


Good luck.

Try the Rodendale in West Dulwich. They have a lovely private room you can hire. There is also a garden for the children if they need to get out. We used it for a Sunday lunch to celebrate a Christening and it was perfect for a group with both adults and children.


Also we brought some toys and colouring stuff and they set up a separate table to children to sit at.

Another vote for Rocca in the village. Has a lovely atmosphere and they are brilliant with kids and very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. Lots of space and the restaurant is nicely decorated so has a slightly fancy feel whilst being very relaxed, and the food is brilliant. Have been frequently and often take ages but never feel like I'm in he way or need to give up the table!

Always thought this sounded great for a special meal:

It has a private room, or maybe area, in a courtyard I think. Never actually been but looked into it for husband's 40th.


Menu has Spanish slant and looks okay for veg option, and good for fish.

The Florence Herne Hill is great, massive kids room out the back so the kids don't get bored. I'm sure they'd get you some space in the conservatory out the back which is big, light and airy. Food is great too, but prob more Gastropub depending on how special you're looking for...

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
