Lets be honest from here on in. NYE in London if you're planning to go out is always HELL. From finding a venue, to rounding people up to make a joint decision, to then find all the tickets for said event having sold out, and THEN having to go through the post-sell out struggle to find another acceptable venue (UGH and don't talk to me about the post early bird price ramp up 🙄).
Thats why for 2017 me and my other half decided to make things simple, with a NYE double date night, guaranteed sit down, drink and dance. Although you do pay more for a guaranteed sit down, the place we chose was really reasonable for what you received, and most importantly you were able to keep your shoe colour and their non-stickiness factor intact (always a bonus).

After scouring design my night 1000 times for all the latest events, we decided to go to the Absurd Bird Prohibition Party for a 2 course sit down meal with bottomless prosecco or beer, plus a basement party and moonshine shot at midnight for £55.
I've eaten at the Absurd Bird (AB) before and they produce some pretty knockout southern inspired chicken, and the NYE menu didn't disappoint. I went for a starter of Spinach and Artichoke Dip with Tortilla Chips, which was heavenly creamy and moreish and then their signature Crispy Fried Chicken Burger, fries and coleslaw which was a beast of a course (portion sizes never disappoint at AB), both sides were great with their chicken batter light, not too greasy and an overall well constructed burger.
Overall though I couldn't fault the food or service, the waiters wore prohibition themed head pieces and braces which was a nice touch, and even more chicken was served later on in the evening for a midnight snack which was obviously very well received.
For the evening I decided to wear an old favourite and go green themed in my Club L bunting style sequin dress which has been featured on the blog previously, styled similarly with green themed eye makeup, adding a touch of Huda lip, alongside a sleek clutch and shoe choice. I love this outfit and do get alot of compliments for it as I think its a little more original than most sequin dressed out there at the moment, so I will eventually be pretty soul destroyed when it does die and have to go in the bin 😞.
Where did you go for New Years Eve?
