Hen Party Guide: How to Keep a Large Group Happy at a Bottomless Brunch.
If you have been tasked with planning a hen party or a large group celebration, you know the drill: it is 50% "this is going to be amazing" and 50% "how am I going to keep 15 people happy at the same time?"
Managing a large group isn’t just about finding a table; it’s about finding a venue that understands the pace of a celebration. You want somewhere that keeps the energy high, handles the logistics so you don't have to, and - most importantly - doesn't make you feel like you're being rushed out the door.
The "Hen Party" Survival Rules
- Avoid the "Bill Split" Headache: When you have a large group, avoid menus where everyone pays separately. Go for a fixed bottomless package where the cost is settled up-front.
- Space is Non-Negotiable: Nothing kills a party vibe like being split across two separate tables. Always confirm that your group can be seated together.
- Keep the Drinks Flowing: You want a venue that keeps the service consistent so your group can stay in the "celebration zone" without flagging down staff.
- Feed Them Properly: A "snack" won't cut it. Your group needs hearty comfort food to keep the energy up for the rest of the day.
