Small Group Dinner

Friday, Jul 10 Evening from 6pm

Tickets: None Required

After the welcome tea, you’re invited to grab dinner with a group from Youngtimers. We've reserved tables at four nearby pubs and eateries so you can keep the conversation going over a meal. Each spot has a different vibe, so there's something for everyone, whether you're after a classic pub dinner, something a little lighter, or just a drink and good company.

Dinner is on your own, and there's no obligation to join but if you'd like to continue the evening with a small group, simply pick the spot that appeals to you and head over. Tables are reserved under Youngtimers. Locations include:

The Marquis Cornwallis

31 Marchmont Street, WC1N 1AP
5 minute walk

Dating to 1804, this Bloomsbury pub features dark wood, a fireplace, and sofas mixed with wooden tables. The menu is a modern take on British classics, including beer-battered haddock, pork sausage with clotted cream mash, and shareable sides. We'll have the sofa corner reserved for our group of 20-24.

Fitzrovia 

18 Goodge St, W1T 2QF
15 min walk

A traditional British corner pub serving cask ales and classic pub dishes. Menu highlights include steak and ale pie and fish and chips. Sports screens throughout make it a good pick for anyone wanting to catch the football (soccer), as this is a fixture night.

Marlborough Arms 

36 Torrington Pl, WC1E 7LY
10 min walk

A traditional Bloomsbury pub with a large open area of oak panelling. Hearty British dishes include fish and chips, meat pies, and vegetarian options. Warm atmosphere, not too loud, and easy to settle in. Private reserved space for our group.

Jack Horner

234 Tottenham Court Rd, W1T 7QN
15 min walk

A Fuller's pub with a traditional British menu and a wide range of handmade pies. Dark wood interiors and cosy corners. No televisions, so conversation is easy. Reviewers consistently note the warm, welcoming atmosphere.
