The team and their partners at STS Storage headed into London on Friday 11th December with the Managing Director – Malcolm, having planned events to try and improve on last Christmas’s success of La Soiree at the Southbank.
With staff and their partners making their way into London from various locations, Watford, Slough, Aldershot, Guildford etc the offices closed at 1.30pm to allow ample time before an early 5.30pm dinner.
A few members of staff met at the comedy pub, which happened to be located next door to our Christmas venue of three years ago the comedy store. After a few beverages we moved to a bar in the heart of Leicester Square before heading to The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. restaurant. Inspired by the 1994 film ‘Forrest Gump’. Already a much loved icon in America and internationally, the London restaurant is the first to have made the leap ‘across the pond’ to the United Kingdom.
After gorging on a menu based around the film, dishes included shrimps, prawns and mummers southern fried chicken. We then headed across for front row seats to watch The Book Of Mormon – The first London Musical written by Matt Stone and Trey Parker the Creators of South Park.
The show was a standout hit and the cast received a standing ovation before the staff headed home catching trains back to various locations.
