Design my night

About 15 to 20 of us meet up once a year on the first Thursday in December. Over the last 10 years we have gone to a different London Pub. This year it was the Founders Arms. Next year it will be the Founders Arms again! Why, excellent service and friendly staff, good reasonably priced food, great location and good selection of beers - what more could you want.

Perfect, as always. Great festive atmosphere, a lovely start to the Christmas season.

Drinks Reception

The smell of mulled wine or the cork popping sound on arrival can only mean one thing, Santa is on his way! Avoid lengthy decision making at the bar, and have everyone mulling from the get go.

Founder's Wonderland

Why not reserve an area outside on our terrace over the festive season? We’ll be taking bookings on our terrace and serving piping hot drinks, delicious festive bites and spreading Christmas cheer!

New Year's Eve

Out with old and in with the new. Whatever your resolution is this New Year – Start it off as you mean to go on – in the pub, of course! We’ve got some cracking events lined up to see 2026 in with a bang! Happy New Beer!
