The last one I went to was at the London Aquarium, which was pretty damn good, though you had to go all the way up and outside to smoke. Fish are just great. What's more, they have a petting tank, where you can stroke rays, who are immense show-offs and, if you're not paying them attention, will go to the surface and flap about until you start stroking them again.
Anyway, I'd advise a buffet and a way for people to group up to eat, because getting stuck on a table with a bunch of really dull people who you don't know just because the seating plan said that or you were unlucky is really depressing. Don't try any social engineering. Don't sit people from different offices who normally don't talk to each other together in the hope that they'll make new exciting friends - they won't, they'll just be bored and resentful and text each other and say "that was shit" the next day. Let people move around and organise themselves. It's bad enough being forced to associate with people you don't like in a work context. Buffet with seating is how I'd go; if people want to sit down respectably, they can. |
