We know that planning the Christmas party can be a tricky job. Finding somewhere that suits everyone's tastes with a fun atmosphere, cool decor and brilliant food can be a bit of a stretch, but here's where the good news comes in. The Railway is a historic pub in Putney that has undergone a fabulous overhaul, and boasts not one, not two, but three floors which can be hired for Christmas parties.
So, if you're searching for a venue that can cater to your whole company, we think that with a total standing capacity of a whopping 620 people, The Railway ought to do it. Indeed, between the three floors you'll find several bars, loads of room for dancing and seated options, too. For a slightly smaller affair, the middle floor has enough room for 180 people standing and 10 seated, while The Carriage and The Dining Car have capacity for 12 and six people respectively.
Whether you're planning a huge festive bash or an intimate dinner party, The Railway has curated some great seasonal menus. Perfect for a cocktails-and-canapes style party, enjoy small bites like sweet potato and spinach vegan sausage rolls, alongside haddock goujons with tartare sauce and wild mushroom bruschetta.
Or, if a three-course menu is more your vibe, tuck into the likes of butternut squash raviolini, toasted almonds, sage and garlic crisps for starters, roast turkey breast with cranberry stuffing, pigs in blankets, honey-roasted roots and roast potatoes for a traditional main and desserts like apple and winter berry crumble or an English cheese board. To complement the food, there are plenty of festive cocktails like a winter spiced Old Fashioned and Mulled Wine, which can also be booked through a drinks package to ensure your guests are suitably greeted with a tipple.
