We're planning to get our baby christened next spring. Although it's only for immediate family and godparents, as that'll still involve 20 adults and 12 kids from crawling babies to late teens, we feel our house is too small to cope with a lunch gathering afterwards. Ideally we want somewhere with outside/garden space where the kids can play, so are thinking we'll probably have to drag everyone out of London to either of the grandparents houses. However if anyone has any bright ideas of somewhere suitable that would be available to hire on a Sunday lunchtime I'd love to hear from you. (Bars/restaurants/gastro-pubs tend to have rooms for hire, but not the kind of outdoor space we'd ideally like, and would also charge for catering, when we'd be just as happy to provide our own, which'd obviously avoid too much further expense.)
Many thanks!
