Hens Party Venues in Coogee

How to Choose the Right Hens Party Venue

Planning a bride-to-be's day in Coogee means three very different rooms within walking distance of each other and of the beach, so a hens group can begin with a long shared lunch and finish somewhere louder.

Three ways to shape the hens:

A South East Asian banquet: Sugarcane on Carr Street hosts hens parties in a private dining space for 24 that opens to a closed-in balcony seating another 18, from $75 per person.
Italian with aperitivo-style cocktails: Osteria Coogee (31 Alfreda Street) offers a semi-private balcony where 8 to 14 can sit and a semi-private dining area for 10 to 20, with its menus starting from $79 per person.
A beach bar kick-on: Little Jack Horner, across from the sand on Coogee Bay Road, lists hens days among its functions and has live music every Friday to Sunday night.
The whole bridal party plus friends: Osteria can be hired exclusively for as many as 100 standing.
A lunch that rolls into the evening: Sugarcane serves lunch as well as dinner from Friday to Sunday.

A bridal party of ten or so fits Osteria's balcony or Sugarcane's private room comfortably; a bigger crowd with cousins and workmates suits Osteria outright, or a group enquiry at Little Jack Horner.

Sugarcane's menu runs through bites, raw dishes, curries and larger plates, with drinks packages available; it is fully licensed and not BYO.
Osteria's Mangia menu shares olives, focaccia, burrata, gnocchi, porchetta and tiramisu, and canapé packages cover a cocktail-style hens.
At Osteria the drinks can go on the Classico beverage package with a cocktail on arrival, or everything can go on one tab and be charged on consumption; there is no cash bar.
Little Jack Horner pours a wide range of wines and cocktails beside a menu of dishes picked up on trips around the world.

Planning the day around the bride

Timing: lunch at Sugarcane is a Friday-to-Sunday thing, while Little Jack Horner's kitchen runs from breakfast to supper seven days.
The cake: Osteria takes cakes from outside if you give notice, and charges cakeage by the head.
A look first: site inspections at Osteria are by appointment.
Booking the bar: Little Jack Horner takes tables of up to 20 online, and larger hens go through an event enquiry, after which the team sends packages and helps with the details.
