Food and Drink Options

The on-site QE2 Restaurant serves international cuisine with views of Dartford Bridge—ideal for a pre-show dinner.

Breakfast is available, even if you sleep in after a show.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn't host live music, the stylish QE2 Bar is perfect for a nightcap or watching satellite TV with friends. For more action, it’s a short drive to bars and lounges in Dartford and nearby towns, making it easy to keep the night going post-concert.
