Worth a look for a hens party: Fortnums, a conservatory-style restaurant in Sassafras for up to 100 guests.

How to Choose the Right Hens Party Venue

In the Dandenong Ranges, the hens venue on Party Hero is Fortnums in Sassafras, which names hens groups among the daytime parties it hosts in its Garden Room. A bridal party of anywhere from 15 to 30 gets that room alone, set back from the restaurant along a garden path.

It suits an afternoon hens rather than a big night out – think high tea, grazing and plenty of natural light.

Why the Garden Room works for a hens group:

Exclusive use – the whole room is yours for the day, so games and gifts don't spill over to other diners.
Tea service – high tea is one of the restaurant's function formats, next to grazing tables and seated meals.
Styling – tables can be dressed in the bride-to-be's colours, with linen napkins, organza runners and fresh flowers.
Light and greenery – the room is bright and looks out on the garden, which helps with group photos.
Dietary needs – vegetarian, gluten-free and other requests are cooked for on site.

Fortnums sits on the ridge road, so a group can carry on to Olinda or Mount Dandenong afterwards. To hear about menus, enquire through Party Hero with the bridal party's numbers.

Confirm numbers early, since the room is set up for groups no smaller than 15 and no larger than 30.
Ask the function coordinator to match the food to the group, from a grazing spread to a seated lunch.
Plan for daylight hours, since the Garden Room hosts gatherings during the day rather than evening parties.
Bring the theme along – the restaurant styles the room to a colour scheme with flowers and runners.

Making a day of the hills

Sassafras is a stop on the Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, which follows the ridge on to Olinda.
Outside the restaurant, the garden is thick with tree ferns, so photos come easily.
Inside, the main dining room has the feel of an English conservatory, with arched windows and small chandeliers.
If the bride later wants a garden wedding, Fortnums also holds ceremonies under a white arch and receptions for 45 to 100.
