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.

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 :)

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
