Feast Mode: Fueling the Lads On Your Stag Night In

Beer Tasting and Pub Quiz

Turn your living room into a makeshift pub with a variety of craft beers. You can even hire a Beer Tasting experience at your stag party house. Crown the beer king while testing your knowledge with a hilarious pub quiz. Bonus points for the most ridiculous team names! Some team names can be:

• Macho Nachos
• The Notorious Stags
• Dapper Chaps
• Groom’s Goons
• Pint-Sized Legends

BBQ and Bonfire

Fire up the grill, crack open the beers, and enjoy a feast. If you have an outdoor space, end the night with a bonfire. Nothing says bonding like burnt marshmallows and tall tales. We also love cooking on a bonfire – have you tried:

• Campfire Nachos: Layer tortilla chips, cheese, jalapeños, and any other toppings you fancy in a cast-iron skillet. Cover with foil and let it melt into gooey perfection.
• Hot Dog Skewers: Skewer hot dogs on sticks and roast them over the fire. Bring along a variety of toppings to create custom hot dog masterpieces.
• Chili: Cook a big pot of chili on a tripod or grill grate over the fire. Serve it in bowls with plenty of toppings like cheese, sour cream, and green onions.
• Campfire Pizza: Use pre-made dough and add your favorite toppings. Cook it on a grate over the fire until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted.

Not in the mood to cook? We have a BBQ Service where a chef will come to your home or stag accommodation to cook for you. More time to spend with your mates!

Cooking Showdown

Channel your inner chef with a cooking competition. Choose a mystery ingredient and see who can create the best dish. Winner gets bragging rights and maybe a cold beer.

Drinking Games:

• Ring Of Fire: A college classic. All you need is a large glass (a pint glass will suffice), a deck of cards and everyone to have their own beverage. Place the cards in a circle formation around the glass in the middle and then take it in turns to draw one. Each card has a specific rule and when the circle is broken you must finish your drink!
• Arrogance: Pour as much drink into a glass as you wish, then flip a coin and guess which side it will land. If you guessed incorrectly – drink the contents. If you were correct, pass the glass on and the next person adds however much they like to the drink and then guesses the coin flip. As more and more participants guess correctly the amount in the cup will increase, therefore worsening the forfeit.
• Cheers to the Guv’na: Take it in turns to count to 21 individually but 7 & 11 are switched (so instead of “7” you would say “11” and vice versa) and instead of saying 21 you shout “cheers to the guv’na!” and everyone repeats it, then has a group *cheers!* The governor then gets to make a rule for another number. For example, instead of 16, you have to get up and spin around. If you forget the rule you have to have a swig of your drink. I’m pretty sure nobody has ever managed to complete the whole game where every number has a rule!

Banter & Battles: Let the Games Begin On Your Stag Night In!

Game Night

• Retro Game Night – Dust off those old consoles or download some classic games. From Mario Kart to Street Fighter, relive the glory days while shouting at the screen and laughing at the 8-bit antics.
• Board Game Night – Bring out the ol’ Monopoly board or Trivial Pursuit!
• LAN party – Counter-Strike, Warcraft, Halo, CoD… anyone?
• Party games night – Jenga, Operation, Connect Four, Twister – how nostalgic can you get!

DIY Casino Night

Set up a makeshift casino with poker, blackjack, and roulette. If the hustle and bustle of the town isn’t for you then why not chuck in some money and pull on your poker face… Pick up a deck of cards and some chips and you’re all set for a classic poker night. Call your friend’s bluff, take their precious earnings and show them who the real pro is. If you want a truly prestigious experience you can hire private croupiers to host the evening who will bring high-quality cards, roulette equipment and tables so that you feel the full Monte Carlo experience.
Use Monopoly money or snacks as chips, and remember: what happens in the living room, stays in the living room.

Karaoke Clash

Belt out your favorite tunes with a karaoke night. Whether you’re hitting high notes or just shouting lyrics, it’s all about having a laugh. Best (or worst) performer gets a prize! If Karaoke isn’t on the cards, why not play “Guess the song” on the Echo?

A Bit of Sauce On Your Lads Night In

The Butlerettes

If you’re looking for a little more spice in your evening without any nudity, butlerettes are a great addition. They are hand picked to be outgoing, friendly and cheeky in order to entertain you and your fellow stag comrades. They can be hired to serve up your dinner or pour you another glass of bubbly over the poker table. The butlerettes will arrive at your house with nothing more than their uniform and a charming smile. Oh, and we nearly forgot to mention, they’re dressed to suit the needs of your event…

Stripper

The infamous stripper is a discussion that takes place in every stag group. If you don’t fancy a night on the town why not bring the club to you! The cost of a stripper may shock you at first but once the price has been divided between you all then it becomes very reasonable and why not surprise the stag with some fresh young blood on his final night of freedom!
However if the misses doesn’t warm to the idea of her man ogling some cleavage then why not hire a male stripper, guaranteed laughter and the look of horror/disappointment on the stags face will not be forgotten no matter how much has been drunk!

FAQ About Planning Your Stag Party In With Mates

How far in advance should we book accommodation for a stag night in?

The earlier, the better! Popular stag-friendly houses and apartments can get booked up months in advance, especially for peak weekends. Aim to book at least 3-6 months ahead to snag the best spots with all the must-have amenities – think hot tubs, games rooms, and plenty of space for the lads to spread out.

What should we look for when booking accommodation for a stag night in?

You’ll want a place that’s big enough for the whole crew, with comfy beds, plenty of entertainment options (like a pool table or big-screen TV), and ideally, some outdoor space for BBQs or games. Check for “stag-friendly” listings to avoid any last-minute surprises, and always confirm house rules to keep things hassle-free. We have a large variety of stag accommodation that will suit everyone’s needs.

Can we book activities to come to us at the accommodation?

Absolutely! From mobile cocktail-making classes to private chefs, casino nights, and even head-to-head School Sports Day, there are tons of activities you can bring straight to your door. We want your stag do in to be as fun and exciting as possible, and we offer a wide range of activities you can add to your stag party house booking. Plus, we offer exclusive discounts when you book your house together with activities, ensuring you get the best value to your stag weekend.

How do we avoid the party getting too out of hand?

Pace yourselves, lads! Plan the drinks wisely, have plenty of food on hand, and set a few ground rules (like no phones after midnight!). It’s all about having a laugh without waking up to total chaos the next day. 

Booking with us is super easy! Let us find the perfect activities and accommodation for you.
