Fairlop Oak - Christmas Eve
Fairlop Oak - Christmas Eve
Its back to old faithful, The Fairlop Oak, for our Christmas Eve drink. I'm starting at 6pm, but there's no problem with you arriving a bit later. For those coming by train, its Fairlop station and turn right to the roundabout where the car park sits. Its also served by seven bus routes - 128, 150, 167, 169, 247, 275, 462. For those driving, there is a lot of free parking a stone's throw from the pub - along Fullwell Ave and it's side roads. See you there.
🎄 CHRISTMAS EVE DINNER 2025
🎄 CHRISTMAS EVE DINNER 2025
A warm, friendly and joyful dinner for anyone spending December 24th in London. Christmas Eve has a special power: it brings people together — even when plans change, even when you stay in the city, even when you’re not with family. So why not spend it with lightness, good food and new friendships? Our **Christmas Eve Dinner** was born exactly for this reason: a simple, cosy evening filled with laughter, shared dishes and small traditions that make everything feel warmer. You don’t need to know anyone — just come with the desire to enjoy the night. And yes, our beloved **Sustainable White Elephant** is back 🎁 A fun, unpredictable game that breaks the ice instantly and creates that little spark of connection that makes the evening even more memorable. Bring something you no longer use, wrap it… and let the group magic do the rest! 🍽️ **DINNER MENU**: ⭐ **Shared Starters** Bruschette Focaccia Italian cured meats ⭐ **Main Courses** Gnocchi alla Sorrentina Mixed Lasagne ⭐ **Side** Fresh salad ⭐ **Dessert** Tasting of Panettone and Pandoro * ⭐**Drinks** Welcome Prosecco 1 soft drink **or** 1 glass of wine **or** 1 beer 🎁 **Sustainable White Elephant** Bring an item you no longer use — useful, funny or simply curious.

Do not attend this walk if you do not fit that description or if you have a medical condition (especially heart and/or lung conditions) that may impact upon your capability of completing the walk.

Some tracks may be muddy and slippery, and conditions may be wet and icy.

End of Year Singles Party, Shoreditch Comp Drink ! Happy Hour! All Ages!
Host: Yash \*This event is a collaboration with other groups and social networks and it will be well attended \*To attend this event you need to buy a ticket from [https://www.fatsoma.com/e/2621f3w2/end-of-year-singles-social-party-in-shoreditch-with-complimentary-drink-happy-hour-all-ages](https://www.fatsoma.com/e/2621f3w2/end-of-year-singles-social-party-in-shoreditch-with-complimentary-drink-happy-hour-all-ages) What is better way to end 2025 rather than a group of single people mixing and mingling, partying and dancing, while keeping their eyes trying to spot that special one that will make their heart jump. Whether you are looking for a partner or just to meet and connect with other people who are at the same phase of life, this is the event for you! You never know who you are going meet in this evening and that is the beauty of it! You may find a friend forever, a party buddy, a partner in crime or a partner in life! Since this is a mix and mingle and not a speed dating there is no age range- in a social pool everybody is welcome and you can choose to speak to whoever you fancy. Connect with like minded people and open your social circle, enjoy chatting about anything and everything, with those you like, for as long as you like If you find somebody who you think you have a connection with, dare to ask their contact details right then and there... like the old times ;) Oh! and you don't need to ask the awkward question: 'so are you single?' because they all will be! You are very welcome to attend alone or with friends. We will be there making introductions, helping break the ice,, and act as a glue in the group. We have a reserved area/table where we can mix and mingle, so that everybody can relax and feel comfortable and we get to know each other. and then we are going to move on the dance floor! Simmons Shoreditch is a quirky cocktail bar bringing an off- kilter addition to the streets of the East. Just off Shoreditch High Street, this gem is notorious for a late-night party or 5. Its eclectic playlist and beautifully bonkers interiors set it apart from its peers. Famed for its rogue aesthetic, it really has it all. We're not joking. Bringing a new meaning to 'Everything but the kitchen sink,' this bar even has that. Its DJ plays from a built-in Kitchen Disco. Spinning disks that span decades with a playlist that's sure to keep you on the dancefloor until the early hours. Blaring neons, skull disco balls and waltzer-style booths all add to the charm! The program of the night is as follows : 7:30pm-9pm : Singles mixing and mingling 9pm: The music goes up and it is time for dancing. Everyone arriving before 9pm receives a token for a complimentary drink ( you can choose between beer, prosecco or non alcoholic) Happy Hour till 9pm! Dress code is smart/ elegant/ Smart Casual (smart dark jeans are fine but ripped jeans, sportswear, trainers/sportshoes and hats are not allowed).

Celebrate National Spaghetti Day!
Celebrate National Spaghetti Day!
Join us as we celebrate **National Spaghetti Day** with this hearty dish! Though the origins of spaghetti are disputed—whether it was Marco Polo bringing back culinary invention from the East or a home-grown Sicilian treat dating back to the 12th Century—we can all agree that a cold day with a big bowl of noodle-y, saucy goodness is balm for the soul. # Carfagnas Spaghetti and Sauce *Everybody's favorite!* Our handmade egg spaghetti topped with our homemade marinara and served with two of our famous meatballs. There are other classic spaghetti dishes on the menu, too. **Where:** We'll have tables in their beautiful upscale bar at Carfagna's Ristorante; and you need to check out everything Italian this place has to offer under one roof!! (shopping, pastry) ***Reservation for 12 under Michele Z starts at 2pm***. *Members Only. Space is limited so no guests, please.* I hope you'll join me at Carfagna's AMAZING complex on Gemini/Polaris. -Michele
