Cocktail Masterclass vs Bottomless Brunch: Which Suits You?
Brunch or cocktail lesson? The hen do showdown
Sunlit glasses clink as the first round lands, and the girls share that “we’ve started” grin. Plates are piled high, the fizz is flowing, and the chatter is effortless. It’s leisurely, indulgent and oh-so-Instagrammable. The perfect warm-up to a big day out.
Shakers in the air and spirits high, the group is learning the art of the perfect pour. Laughter erupts as someone nails the shake-and-strain on the first go. It’s hands-on, lively and a little bit flirty. Cocktail confidence unlocked.
Round the table, besties swap stories and snap boomerangs. The bride’s in the spotlight, fizz in hand, as the brunch turns into a mini celebration. Easy vibes, great lighting, and zero stress. Cheers to the good times.
A silky stream of cocktail goodness hits the glass, and everyone “oooohs” in approval. Garnishes at the ready as the masterpieces line up. It’s mixology with a side of mischief. Bottoms up, ladies.
Planning a hen and torn between a cocktail class and a bubbly brunch? You’re not alone. Both deliver laughs, photos and a happy bride; it’s just about picking the vibe that suits your group best.
A cocktail masterclass brings energy, interaction and a touch of flair, while bottomless brunch serves up leisurely indulgence with fizz and food. If your hens vary in ages or preferences, either option can be shaped to fit. Think of it as choosing between “hands-on party” and “laid-back feast”.

FAQ’s about choosing your ideal hen do plan
Which suits a mixed-age group better?
Bottomless brunch is brilliant for mixed ages because it’s relaxed, seated and naturally chatty. A cocktail class is more interactive, great for breaking the ice and keeps everyone involved. Consider mobility, timing and personality—laid-back brunch for catch-ups, immersive class for giggles and games.
What if our group has non-drinkers or light drinkers?
Both options can be tailored with mocktails and softs; most venues and mobile mixologists offer gorgeous zero-ABV serves. Communicate preferences upfront so menus include spirit-free cocktails and plenty of food or nibbles. For responsible planning, see guidance from Drinkaware on alcohol units.
Can we do both on the same day?
Absolutely—brunch first for a leisurely start, then roll into a cocktail session back at your rental. Or flip it: a late-afternoon class followed by an early dinner. Add cheeky entertainment from butlers in the buff or surprise the bride with a male stripper for a show-stopping finale.
Is a cocktail masterclass good value compared to brunch?
Value depends on inclusions: in a class you get expert tuition, multiple drinks each and often games; brunch bundles food plus free-flowing drinks for a set time. Compare per-person cost against what’s covered (number of drinks, food, duration, private hire). If you love hands-on fun and photos, a class often feels like money well spent.
