Hens Party Venues in Flinders

How to Choose the Right Hens Party Venue

A hens lunch in a seaside village can be held in the Peninsula Room @ Flinders Hotel, the private function room of a heritage pub on Cook Street, Flinders. Natural light streams in, and the room has a bar of its own for the bride's crew.

Groups of around 15 to 20 can take a divided section, so a smaller hens party isn't rattling around a big space.

Things that suit a hens group here:

A sit-down lunch – a two- or three-course set menu, with vegetarian, vegan and low-gluten options for the group.
Grazing instead of courses – the platter buffet lunch keeps everyone chatting rather than waiting on plates.
A cocktail to greet the group – a welcome cocktail is an optional extra on the beverage packages.
Games and stories in private – soundproofed walls keep the speeches and the dares within the room.
Canapés with drinks – packages are from $40 per person, and the private bar serves the group directly.

Flinders Hotel names hens lunches as one of the events it hosts. Send an enquiry with your group size and preferred day.

Sizing the room: one section for 15 to 20, two sections for 30 to 40, or the whole room when the guest list grows.
Picking a drinks tier: Standard, Premium or Deluxe, running two, three or four hours.
A tab with a limit: the maid of honour can set a bar tab, or guests pay as they go at the bar.
The bride on screen: the room's AV can show a slideshow of her through the years.
