WEST KENT CHAMBER NETWORKING
The Shampan story has very humble beginnings with a group of family members wanting to open an intimate Indian restaurant in Chatterton Village, in Bromley, Kent, in 1989.
Little did they know to what extent the locals would welcome them with open arms, taking the establishment’s delicious cooking, it’s warm and friendly environment and convivial service to their hearts. The restaurant was such a success that its proven track record made the owners take another bold step by moving the restaurant to a much larger premises a mere stone’s throw away, 2002.
Good food and welcoming staff are often the back bone of a great restaurant. They are also the essence of what hospitality is all about.
NETWALKING
Welcome to Thackray Williams’ Monthly Netwalking, in Partnership with the West Kent Chamber of Commerce.
Our event is open to everyone, irrespective of location, or business sector, and is hosted on the last Friday of each month (with the exception of December).
If you’re an individual who would like to grow your network and connect with other business professionals, then join us in the beautiful surroundings of Chartwell.
We provide complimentary refreshments of a coffee, tea, or soft drink, on arrival, and a pre-ordered light snack for lunch.
Food options are circulated a week in advance to assist each venue with their orders, so timely booking is important. Please be mindful that our venues will have limited options to support dietary requirements, and food cannot be made to order. If you place a food order and are unable to attend our event, please email hello@thackraywilliams.com so we can make the necessary adjustments.
