Christmas Party · 160 guests · December 2025

Our company Christmas lunch at The Fable went amazingly, many thanks to Charlotte and the team for facilitating us! All the prep and preorder admin was handled well and Charlotte and Ivo we're very helpful with my many questions! On the day the Christmas décor and vibe in the space were great, and the food really impressed too. The bar staff and food servers were efficient and handled our very large group well.
