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 :)

    • Whilst I completely agree with the first part of your post, I think it's a terrible waste of council workers' time (and our council tax money) to be coming out to clear up individual instances of dog crap. I don't know what the answer is. I don't know why there don't seem to be dog crap bins any more, but even if there were I doubt if these dog owners would use them if they aren't picking up the crap in the first place. I can't remember why dog licences were scrapped? If memory serves they used to be seven and six in old money. Maybe it wasn't cost effective to run the system, but maybe it would be if they cost a lot more. I think dog training should be mandatory as well. I think a lot of people acquired dogs during Covid who maybe hadn't had one before, as the number of dogs around ED seemed to greatly increase around then. On the other hand, I do think most dog owners train their dogs and pick up after them. Unfortunately it's those who don't who we notice.
    • Why did you feel the need to post that? Have you actually read the rest of the thread?
    • He lived in my road, so I bumped into him quite often, but I knew him as Mick, not Mike. We originally met at the opening of The Actress. Crikey, how long ago that seems now. He had a fox in his window 🤣 Not a real one, obviously. I only found out that he had died because I hadn't seen him around for a while,  so I mentioned it  on our road WhatsApp group, and someone on there told me. He had been ill for some time, but he was just in the middle of what must have been extremely expensive private  dental treatment (a lot of implants) so I assume his death was sadly unexpected.
