The Lord Northbrook can host a party of up to 200 standing or 100 seated when the whole pub is booked, and has smaller areas for groups of 20 to 100. This Victorian pub stands on Burnt Ash Road in Lee, in southeast London, and was refurbished recently.
Seminars and company events
Business meetings and lunchtime meetings are part of the offer, along with corporate events, staff parties and Christmas parties. For a working lunch, the kitchen can prepare a buffet, and drinks and snacks can be ordered ahead so they are ready when the group arrives. The Snug, a quieter room for up to 22 seated or 30 to 40 standing, has a TV screen that can serve for a presentation or for watching a match together. The Olive Room seats 36 for a team dinner after a day of meetings. Free wifi runs through the pub, and the building has step-free access and an accessible toilet. The manager handles function bookings directly with the organizer.
Weddings and receptions
The pub promotes both the Olive Room and whole-pub hire for wedding receptions. The Olive Room is a popular choice for weddings and family parties, while booking the entire pub suits a larger reception or a milestone birthday. The team can send photos of earlier events set up in the pub, which helps when planning the layout.
Rooms and capacities
The Side Bar is the largest and most flexible area, with 80 seated inside and up to 100 when the terrace is added. It can be combined with the Olive Room and the terrace for a bigger event. The Olive Room takes 36 for dinner or 40 to 50 standing. The Snug seats up to 22 or holds 30 to 40 standing. The Fireplace, set around the real fire, suits an informal group of 20 to 25 with a buffet or sharing platters. For the largest events, the whole pub takes 200 standing or 100 seated.
Catering
Food comes from the pub's own kitchen, which cooks pub classics from fresh, seasonal produce. Groups can choose a buffet, sharing platters or the à la carte menu, and drinks can be arranged in advance. Food is served from noon every day, until 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 9 p.m. on Sunday, and the pub stays open until 11 p.m. from Monday to Saturday.
History and setting
The building is a Victorian pub that has long been a fixture of the local community. Its refurbishment kept the real fire and added board games and screens for live sport, and families and dogs are welcome. It is run by Fuller's. Lee is a residential neighborhood between Lewisham, Blackheath and Eltham, which makes the pub practical for teams, clubs and families based in southeast London who want a private space close to home rather than a venue in the center.
Getting there
Lee station, with trains to London Bridge and central London, is a short walk away, and Hither Green station is also close. Buses run along Burnt Ash Road. London City Airport is the nearest airport.
