Venues for 60th birthday party - suggestions?


EDoriginal

Recommended Posts

Hi - having grown up in East Dulwich, I no longer live in the area and find myself organising a birthday party for a relative in the area but all the pubs/halls etc seem to have changed dramatically! Are there any places anyone on here would recommend around East Dulwich for a party for around 50 people? Nice room above a pub would be ideal open to other ideas. Is a pretty young 60 so not an issue if the pub downstairs was full of trendy young professionAl types who are new to London (not sure if any other type of place exists in ED now?!)

Thanks very much in anticipation

Albrighton centre (opposite Dog kennel hill sainsburys ) have an upstairs room or main hall down stairs they both come with kitchen to prep food.


Or try the function room / bar area at Hamlets health club next door to dog kennel hill sainsburys.



Hope this helps.

Everyone I know, including myself, who has ever tried to hold an event there has had problems of one kind or another.


I'd recommend the lovely ballroom in The Ivy House (community owned pub in Nunhead, and in fact London's first community owned pub) - though I'm biased as I have community shares in it (!!) - or for a smaller room the upstairs panelled room at The Old Nun's Head.


They are both within easy reach of East Dulwich, and the management and staff at both are friendly and helpful.

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
