How to Choose the Right Hens Party Venue

What each venue brings to a hens day or night:

Arrival cocktails and a spirits upgrade are optional extras on The Beach Hotel's three to five hour drinks packages.
Strand Corner at The Beach Hotel suits a hens group of 25, and Strand East a seated 24.
Hotel Allen's Lounge Bar takes 80 at mostly high tables, a good set-up for cocktails and grazing.
Hotel Allen welcomes your own cake and decorations without a cakeage fee.
If the hens wants a long seated lunch, The Beach Hotel's Strand Front and Kennedy Side seat 80 apiece.

There is no room hire; the minimum spend depends on which area, which day and what time.
