We stayed at the Novotel on a recent weekend visit. Very reasonable - nice rooms, nice interior, nice bar and very good breakfast.

Reflex is a cheesy nightclub - ideal for hen nights, and opposite a few restrurants and bars. I have been to one in York and had a very good time.

Loads of resturaunts in town, lots of bars - you should not be disspointed.

sorry if it's a dumb question, but what's a hen night?

Thank you for the Novotel rec, but we only live just over an hour away so have arranged a lift home.

Great, I will check out the restaurants near Reflux then, have you been to any of them?

A hen night is for a bride to be, like her 'last night of freedom' before the wedding. Usually a few weeks before the wedding. The bride to be and her friends get together, the bride may get dressed up and it's just basically a funny night out together! The female equivilent to a stag do for men.

Not sure what you call it in the USA?

we call it a bachelorette party. sounds crazier and wilder in british. have a great time.

Ok right,

Food, head to Oxford Street, its full of restaurants and bars, Pizza Express, Zizzi, an curry place called Kuti's which is lovely but a bit more expensive than your standard curry, Charlie Chans which is a chinese does a fab all you can eat, food is brought out fresh so no food which has been hanging about all night, plus others. Check out oxfordstreetsouthampton.co.uk/restaurants_ba…

Or, go to Leisure world. They have a Frankie and Bennys wth Oceana opening in August, I love the one in Kingston, so would suggest this for your club.

Not heard of Reflex to be honest?

Hope this helps!!

Wow thank you topsy84! I will check out all those suggestions, they are really useful.

I think the club is called Reflex actually, sorry got that wrong! It's in Lower Bannister Street, I will check out how close that is to Oxford Street and Leisure World, ideally we want to walk.

Thanks again for your help.
