Restaurant recommendations needed for a 50th birthday Meal

I appreciate this topic has been done to death but my searches aren't coming up with anything useful....


I am trying to organise a meal for my sister's birthday. Trying to find something that is a bit special (ie, not a chain or a pub) and can cater for a few fussy 'plain meat and potatoes only' guests (grr). I've ruled out Chapter One in Farnbrough for this reason.....


Not too fussed on location, just want to stay South of the River. My sister lives in Denmark hill and the rest of us are spread through Dulwich, Forest Hill and Bromley.


There are 25 of us roughly.


Any suggestions?

You couldn't get 25 people at Cornercopia.

The rather brilliant Upstairs in Brixton has a room for 28

The food is delicious, really special.

They have a Michelin 'bib gourmand" which means its the quality of a michelin star without all the poncey-ness.

    • William, a farmer, farming with both his parents who are in their 80s, summed up the nonsensical approach the government is taking on farmers on Question Time tonight when he said: "At the point at which inheritance tax becomes due you aren't in a position to pay it without selling an income bearing asset which then destabilises the very entity you have built up to create a profit from". He summed it up beautifully when he closed: "If this policy were to persist it will materially and existentially destabilise our [the county's] farming business " The biggest clap of the programme came from the ex-NFU president who accused the government panelist: "Why aren't you going after the wealthy investors, the private equity businesses that are buying up land, planting trees, offsetting their green conscience. You've done nothing to them. They're the ones driving up land prices. These farmers do not want to sell their asset....they want to invest in it and this is going to stifle investment. Who is going to want to invest in new buildings as that is going to drive up the value of the estate." "You're going after the wrong people". It's amazing that the government have been daft enough to pick a fight with farmers - Alastair Campbell commented that he did react with shock when it was announced in the budget as, he said, you don't start a fight with farmers.
