The Lucky Goat was practically made for office Christmas parties with plenty of space, pre-prepared group packages and a selection of games to bring your team together and celebrate the end of the year.
With a handy location close to Bank, The Lucky Goat is well placed next to plenty of public transport links, which is perfect when organising a larger shindig for the whole office. You can choose your package depending on your party size and the kind of vibe you're after - be it non stop gaming or more about the food and drinks. Gold bookings, available for parties from 36 guests, include two hours across the full games line-up, two drinks, sharing food and a dedicated party host. The Goat package stretches the experience to three hours, with three drinks, sharers and the same hands-on hosting. For larger companies, exclusive hire gives up to 220 guests the run of the place, including karaoke rooms, tech darts, electric shuffleboard, pool, air hockey, retro arcade machines and a photo booth.
The food menu is perfect for chatting and gobbling, with a mix of sharing flatbreads, nibbles and small plates. The flatbreads deserve a particular shout out and are substantial enough to keep everyone going, with options such as grilled tiger prawns, shredded lettuce and Marie Rose sauce; tandoori paneer with mango chutney, herb salad and Bombay mix; or chopped shiitake mushrooms with vegan mozzarella and pickled peppers.
Smaller plates can be dotted around the room for guests to help themselves between games. Tempura aubergine with whipped tofu provides a crisp vegan option, while tandoori paneer 65 brings a little heat. Oklahoma beef sliders are an easy crowd-pleaser, especially for later in the evening. Even the bar snacks have more personality than the usual bowls of nuts. Choose from spicy, juicy or anchovy-stuffed Gordal olives, warm pretzels with mustard, chorizo beer sticks, Catalan boquerones gildas and housemade crisps in salted, salt-and-vinegar or curry flavours.
Of course, it wouldn't quite be a Christmas party without any cocktails but thankfully the team at The Lucky Goat have got this down. The Dirty Goat Martini uses goat’s-cheese-washed vodka, while the Goathouse Punch blends brandy, aged rum, peach, sherry and high-mountain tea. Margaritas and Negronis cover the classics, while the mezcal-based Tengu brings cucumber, lime and wasabi.
