Clockhouse - ?500 for a 2 year old children's party?


Ladysaw

Recommended Posts

So I am still in shock horror at the quote to have my daughter's second birthday party on the first floor at the Clockhouse. ?500 MINIMUM SPEND to rent from 2pm to 4pm in late September.


Our flat isn't big enough to host a party and i would love to have (approx) 10 of her toddler mates to celebrate with her.


Can someone please put me out my misery of the ?500 trauma and help offer alternative venues/ideas to help me pick a venue?


I really really would appreciate it :O)

For Gods sake, why can't people ask a simple question without the sarcastic retorts?


Ladysay, a friend of mine had a party for toddlers just up in Brockley and she definitely wasn't charged a ?500 minimum spend.


I'll let you know when I see her tonight.


Cheers

It's upstairs in the pub that she's asking about.


What's wrong with that?


They go in the entrance, up the wooden stairs to the private function room upstairs.


Don't worry, they won't see the fights, strippers, cock fighting, and bare knuckle bouts that go on in the pubs around East Dulwich.

Most of the gastropubs around here are full of kids. Gastropubs are very family friendly (some actually have play areas) so yes NunheadRising you are clearly not a parent around here and your criticism is totally uninformed and out of place.

The park in late September?!


Yes, expecting 2 year olds to sit amongst the autumn leaves on wet grass and have a picnic wearing wellie boots/rain macs/hats & scarves sounds like a great idea.

Jimmy has made my Friday


Nunheadrising... Not so much


Then again they have to kill time until the next bin-rifling thread



The plough used to do very reasonable parties. They partitioned off an area of the pub


Upstairs at the med place next to roullier white is good too

I'd prefer if I had a child that they were used to pubs, and when they got to teenage years etc., that drinking/pubs wouldn't appear so exciting to them!


That's how I was raised anyway, anyone I knew who didn't go to pub regularly with their parents (and some not at all), were dying to go out to pubs/clubs long before me! Maybe it's somewhat an Irish thing!


Good luck finding a good place to have it :) And have a great time :)

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
