Birthday party. Anniversary party. Baby shower or a just-why-not party. We love them all.
And when No.42 is serving Wes-Anderson-vibes-by-the-sea, you don't need a reason to get the gang together, lay down some tunes and pop some corks.
From a night of margaritas & tacos with your inner-circle in a cosy nook of the bar, to an all-out House Party taking over No.42 totally, it's the hottest party destination on the strip (and not just Margate's!). Is there a better way to celebrate? We think not. Discover all manner of gatherings and parties at No 42 Margate here.
Glow-sticks optional.
No.42 is the impressive roof (directly) under which sits our rooftop bar - further down, we've got 18 rooms in the Main House & 3 Lookout Suites next door (with their own private access - perfect for VIPs). We're home to the most Eastern-outpost of 'Pearly Cow', our fabulous fire & ice concept restaurant, along with No.42's cocktail bar & lounge. Further down still, you'll find the Oyster Bar, ideal for a more intimate gathering or workshop plus the quiet retreat of our treatment rooms. Come on in...
There are several spots to gather at No.42 - from Oyster Bar for half a dozen of your nearest and dearest to a bigger, exclusive use bash with the whole crowd in Pearly Cow.
As the name sounds, our GuestHouse can be home to your event exclusively - that's right, all yours! From sunset cocktails on the rooftop, to dancing the night away at Pearly Cow, our pad is a very impressive place to take-over indeed. Exclusive Use includes all 21 bedrooms for the night with breakfast the following day - and the rest is up to you!
Rooftop bars never fail to impress, and ours, we think, is particularly special. With panoramic views of the bay and serious sun-trap status, it's an unbeatable summer spot for cocktail parties, baby showers and more. Available for private hire from 12pm until 5pm throughout the season. Evening hire is available Monday - Thursday on selected dates.
