Restaurant for small wedding reception in SE London?

[Hessy]

Dear all,

DP and I are both from South East London and live here currently. I want a small family registry office ceremony in either Lewisham, Greenwich, possibly Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark (narrowing that down will depend on next part).

I'd love then for everyone to then pile into taxis and head to a lovely, (family-run?) restaurant for a big lunch. Then we all bugger off home.

But I can't find that restaurant. I want it to be special, but still be 'us'. It would need to accommodate toddlers too. Seating twenty.

Anyone any suggestions?

There is a kids play area for the toddlers

Not sure if already suggested up thread but how about Franklins in East Dulwich?

I am sorry but there is only one place to consider And that is Chapter One. And yes, I am pushing the edges of south London there but its clearly in Bromley, so from Lewisham or Croydon it is just down the road!

Dear friends had their registry ceremony at Croydon Registry and we then piled in car and off there we went.

p.s congratulations and hope you have a fabulous day!!!!!

Rocca in Dulwich Village - Italian and family friendly. Dulwich wodhouse in Sydenham.

Oooh i love Rocca!

These are all fantastic - thank you! So many great excuses for lunches out to check these places out.

I'm so inspired I'm going to have to start a thread about finding the dress.......!

Have you booked Hessy ? :)

Hope you don't mind me jumping in but I am planning a family meal of a similar style after my wedding. Did you do a seating plan or does it not matter at this scale?
